MUKHTAR KHAN vs STATE OF CHATTISGARH

The Supreme Court quashed multiple proceedings between the parties, including a case under Section 125 Cr.P.C. and a Domestic Violence Act case, following a settlement reached between the husband and wife. The Court held that since the terms of the settlement were acted upon and the wife received the agreed amount, the continuation of criminal proceedings was not warranted. Consequently, the appeal was disposed of in light of the settlement.
