Quashing of FIR No. 74 dated 25.12.2016 under Sections 498A/406 IPC, registered at Police Station Women, District Amritsar is being sought on the basis of compromise deed dated 09.03.2017 (Annexure P-2 )

¶16

Respondent No. 2 got married to petitioner No. 1 on 18.01.2015. Out of this wedlock, one girl was born. Due to temperamental differences, both the parties could not live together as husband and wife. The relationship between them became strained and F.I.R was registered against the petitioners on account of harassment and humiliation caused by the petitioners on the pretext of bringing less dowry by respondent No. 2.

¶17

However, the matter has now been duly compromised, on the basis of compromise deed dated 09.03.2017 (Annexure P-2 ).

¶18

In compliance of order dated 21.04.2017, report dated 06.05.2017 of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Amritsar has been received in this regard. As per report, statements of the complainant and petitioner had been

¶23

Accordingly, FIR No. 74 dated 25.12.2016 under Sections 498A/406 IPC, registered at Police Station Women, District Amritsar, is quashed along with all consequential proceedings arising therefrom qua petitioners.
