Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court, in a transfer petition under Section 406 CrPC, addressed a case involving a husband seeking to transfer a criminal case from Delhi to Mumbai. The parties reached a compromise during the proceedings, which was recorded by the Court. Exercising its powers under Article 142 of the Constitution, the Court withdrew all litigations between the parties, except for a matrimonial petition, and directed them to file an application under Section 13-B of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1956 for divorce by mutual consent. The Court concluded that no further claims would remain between the parties, effectively resolving the disputes.
