The Allahabad High Court has observed that matrimonial dispute between the husband and wife should be quashed when the parties have resolved their dispute amongst themself through a compromise deed duly filed and verified by the Court.

The Bench of Justice Chandra Kumar Rai observed this while quashing criminal proceedings initiated by an FIR lodged by the wife against the husband and his family members under Sections 498-A, 323 IPC, and Section 3/4 of D.P. Act

The Court ordered this as it took into account the compromise deed executed in March 2021 between both the parties, which was also duly verified and sent to the High Court along with a verification report by the lower court.

The husband and his family members submitted before the court that the proceeding of a criminal case under Sections 498-A,323 IPC and 3/4 of D.P. Act be quashed as they have entered into a compromise which was also verified by the court.

It was further submitted that the husband and Wife along with their children are living together and there’s no use of dragging the case.

Thus, the High Court quashed the entire proceedings in the case.
