498A Quash Judgement 01.02.2023- In this article, the Gujarat High Court held that in view of the settlement by the wife, and the judgement of acquittal of the husband and mother-in-law, there exists no scope for any further proceedings against the brother-in-law in the present case, and the continuance of proceedings against the brother-in-law would lead to wastage of judicial time as there remains no possibility of any conviction. The brother-in-law had no interaction with the wife for several years, and the allegations made in the impugned FIR against him would not survive. Therefore, the criminal proceedings against the brother-in-law are hereby quashed.
