    The High Court of Orissa quashed the FIR and criminal proceedings against Sekharshree Mahajan and another in a family dispute case after the complainant (their family member) filed a joint affidavit stating she had no grievance and wished not to proceed further. The court invoked Section 482 Cr.P.C., finding that continuation of prosecution would be futile and amount to abuse of process, as the possibility of conviction had become remote given the complainant's unequivocal position. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
