Chhattisgarh High Court held that continuation of prosecution under Section 498A IPC serves no purpose once parties execute a mutual settlement and obtain a divorce decree. The ruling reinforces that matrimonial disputes resolved amicably warrant quashing of criminal proceedings to prevent abuse of process.

Delhi High Court quashes FIR under Sections 498A/406 IPC after mutual settlement, affirming that private disputes without public interest may be terminated to secure justice.
