c) High court will quash(close) 498A, 506,511, DP Act 3&4 case within 15 days from the date of receipt of Petition filed by both the parties.

Hope this information is useful.

1) you have to file petition in HC for quashing of complaint aganst you and your family members under section 482 of cr pc

2) rely upon MOU entered into with wife

3) wife has to file consent affidavit

4) appear in court

5) HC would quash the complaint

1. The charge u/s498A is non compoundable. The sections under DP Act are also non compoundable and such cases shall be tried by a court not inferior to a Metropolitan or Judicial Magistrate.

2. So, it is natural that the said sections will not be dealt by lok Adalat.

3. You shall have to take an affidavit from her affirming that she has lodged the police complaint and also filed the DP case out of domestic rage which she has reconciled now.

4. Based on the said affidavit, you can file a petition u/s 482 of Cr.P.C. before the High court for for quashing the FIR and also the case filed under DP Act.

5. During the hearing of the quash petition before the High Court, your wife shall have to be present and depose what she has affirmed in the said affidavit in your favour.

If the pending criminal case was not disposed by compromise petition, then you have no option than to go for trial. In that the court may be informed through APP about the compromise settlement and then your wife will be made to become hostile to the witness deposition, after which the court may decide to dispose the case by acquitting the accused.

This is one option, the second option to file a quash petition before high court in which she may file an affidavit stating she is having no objection to this and the matter has already been settled out of court.
