Summary of Criminal Appeal No. 486 of 2000 (Ram Kishan v. State of Delhi) On 23 February 2006, the Supreme Court allowed Ram Kishan and others' appeal against the High Court's refusal to quash criminal prosecution. The appellants had sought quashing of prosecution under Sections 406/498-A IPC read with Sections 4 & 6 of the Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961, after settling their matrimonial dispute and obtaining a consent divorce decree. The Court, following B.S. Joshi precedent, held that parties' settlement of matrimonial disputes warrants quashing of criminal prosecution and accordingly set aside the impugned order and quashed the criminal prosecution.
