The Allahabad High Court has ruled that matrimonial disputes between a husband and wife should be quashed if the parties have resolved their issues through a verified compromise deed. This observation was made while quashing criminal proceedings initiated by an FIR filed by the wife against her husband and his family members.
Justice Chandra Kumar Rai’s bench made this ruling while considering the compromise deed executed in March 2021 between the husband and wife. The deed was verified and sent to the High Court with a verification report by the lower court.
The husband and his family argued that the criminal case proceedings under Sections 498-A and 323 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), along with Sections 3 and 4 of the Dowry Prohibition (D.P.) Act, should be quashed. They highlighted that the couple, along with their children, are now living together harmoniously, making further legal proceedings unnecessary.
Taking these submissions into account, the High Court decided to quash the entire proceedings in the case, emphasizing the importance of resolving disputes amicably to avoid prolonged legal battles.
