WASIM ANWAR vs STATE OF NCT OF DELHI

The Supreme Court allowed the appeal and quashed FIR No. 258 of 2014 under Section 482 Cr.P.C., which was previously upheld by the Delhi High Court. The Court noted that the parties, husband and wife, had settled their matrimonial disputes amicably, including a financial settlement acknowledged by the complainant. The Court held that continuing the criminal case would be unnecessary as the settlement indicated that any trial would likely result in acquittal.
