Sanjeev Guha and Ors. v. State Govt of NCT of Delhi and Anr.
Case brief
What is this about?
The High Court allowed a petition quashing an FIR under Sections 498A, 406, and 34 IPC. Relying on a recorded settlement and the remote chance of conviction, the Court held that continuing proceedings would be a misuse of process and undue burden on the exchequer. The FIR and related proceedings were quashed, with directions that the settlement does not affect minor child's future rights.
What did the court decide?
The FIR No.179/2013 under Section 498A/406/34 IPC and all proceedings therefrom are quashed. The pending application is disposed of as infructuous.
