Calcutta High Court Quashes Matrimonial Criminal Cases Following Mutual Divorce Settlements
The Calcutta High Court recently quashed two separate criminal cases related to matrimonial disputes after mutual divorce settlements. In one case, the court emphasized that a wife's undertaking to withdraw a cruelty case after divorce is a binding commitment, preventing her from keeping the case active. In another, the court ended proceedings after the husband agreed to pay Rs 13 lakh as one-time alimony, noting that continuing the case would cause unnecessary distress and burden the courts. Both rulings highlight the court's preference for amicable resolutions in family disputes.
