IA stands dismissed with the observation that effect of compromise shall be taken into consideration while considering the petition the petition finally in the light of decision of the APEX COURT in BS JOSHI V. State of Haryana(2003)4SCC 675 followed. As prayer for matter be listed for final hearing on given date." I want to know what exactly it means, the quashing is sure or we have to attend the final hearing.

Yes, it is confirmed but the high court wants to see the decree of mutual divorce before passing the final order in quashing.

when an offence is non compoundable, the high court and the supreme court in exercise of their inherent powers can grant leave to compound such offences.such a leave would be given by those courts only on the basis of the relationship between the parties and other aspects. you cannot take things for granted. when the matter is taken up for hearing and judge develops some doubts and seeks clarification,it would be better for you to be present their to clarify those doubts and finish the matter positively.

Since the offence is punishable under section 498A of IPC is non compoundable. IA stands dismissed with the observation that effect of compromise shall be taken into consideration while considering the petition the petition finally in the light of decision of the APEX COURT in BS JOSHI V. State of Haryana(2003)4SCC 675 followed. As prayer for matter be listed for final hearing on given date."
