    Case Summary: CRMMO 863/2025 The High Court of Himachal Pradesh quashed FIR No. 112/2024 against Shubham, registered under BNS Section 64 and POCSO Act Sections 4 & 6, after the accused and victim married on 6.8.2025 and confirmed they are residing happily together. The court found that continuing prosecution would serve no fruitful purpose and cause undue harassment, as the victim's testimony would either jail her husband or expose her to pressure if she recanted. Relying on binding precedents establishing that marriage between accused and victim warrants quashing when parties are content, the court exercised inherent jurisdiction to terminate proceedings. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
