    Case Summary: WP/1958/2026 - Ashish Tholia v. Riddhi Tholia The Bombay High Court quashed FIR No. 283/2023 (charging offences including cheating, forgery, cruelty, dowry violations) after the parties resolved their matrimonial dispute through consent terms filed in a separate family matter (ABA No. 1953/2025). The court found no useful purpose in continuing criminal prosecution, relying on Supreme Court precedent that FIRs in settled matrimonial disputes can be quashed. However, the court imposed costs (Rs. 50,000 each from petitioners and respondent-wife to welfare funds) as a condition precedent, noting the dispute should not have been escalated to police. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
