SHRADDHA KASHIKAR vs THE STATE OF MADHYA PRADESH HOME DEPARTMENT STATION HOUSE OFFICER — Crl.A. No. 170 - 172/2015

Summary: The Supreme Court closed Criminal Appeals Nos. 170-172/2015 filed by Shraddha Kashikar against the State of Madhya Pradesh on September 4, 2024. The appeals challenged the High Court's orders quashing FIRs (under IPC Section 420) against her husband and wife (respondents 2 and 3). The Court accepted the counsel's statement that the husband has since deceased and the parties are settling the matter amicably. Given the non-heinous nature of the offence, considerable passage of time, and parties' settlement efforts, the Court ordered closure of all appeals and pending applications.
