Mohd.Ashfaq Ahmed & Anr vs Nishat Siddiqui & Ors

The Supreme Court quashed the criminal proceedings against the appellant in C.C.No.76 of 2007, following a settlement where the appellant provided a Fixed Deposit Receipt (F.D.R.) of Rs.2 lakhs and an additional F.D.R. of Rs.35,000/- for the benefit of the child, Safa Jabeen. The Court emphasized the importance of maintaining the F.D.R. until the child's maturity, thereby resolving the matter amicably. The appeal was disposed of in light of this settlement.
