Single-judge Justice Sanjay Dhar said that the continuance of criminal proceedings, despite the settlement between petitioner and respondent, will be nothing but an abuse of process of law.
“Merely because the offences alleged in the FIR are non-compoundable, if an end is not put to the criminal proceedings, it would amount to grave injustice to the petitioners and, in fact, it will amount to frittering away of the fruits of compromise that has been arrived at between the petitioner-husband and respondent-wife,” the Court said.
