hi if you want to close the csse as both the parties have compromised the matter then you could file a compromise petition in court to close the FIR and settle the matter and could obtain relief from the court

If you and your wife have reconciled and wish to live together, the case may be closed through appropriate legal procedure. Since the matter is at the evidence stage, both parties should jointly approach the competent court with the settlement. The wife should clearly state that the dispute has been amicably resolved and that she has no objection to the proceedings being closed

If both of you have genuinely reconciled and wish to live together, execute a compromise deed and jointly file a petition before the High Court under Section 528 BNSS (earlier Section 482 CrPC) seeking quashing of the 498A proceedings. Since 498A is non-compoundable, the trial court cannot close the case based on compromise alone. The High Court can quash the proceedings if the settlement is voluntary and genuine.

Yes. If both spouses have genuinely reconciled and wish to continue the marriage, they may jointly approach the High Court under Section 528 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (formerly Section 482 CrPC) seeking quashing of the FIR/criminal proceedings on the basis of settlement. Even if the case is at the evidence stage, the High Court may quash the proceedings if it is satisfied that the settlement is voluntary and serves the ends of justice. Consult an advocate to initiate the quashing proceedings without delay.
