keeping the case pending. Continuation of proceedings would be nothing but an abuse of the process of Court. The chances of conviction are bleak in view of amicable settlement between the parties. Consequently, FIR No. 0778/2022, under Sections 498A/406/34 IPC and Section 4 of Dowry Prohibition Act, registered at P.S.: Seemapuri and the proceedings emanating therefrom stand quashed.
Petition is accordingly disposed of. Pending applications, if any, also stand disposed of.
A copy of this order be forwarded to learned Trial Court for information.
