HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT ALLAHABAD APPLICATION U/S 482 No. - 29845 of 2013 Court No. - 84 HON'BLE SANJIV KUMAR, J. 1. Heard learned Counsel for the applicants, learned A.G.A. for the State, learned Counsel for the opposite party no. 2 and perused the record. 2. This application under Section 482 Cr.P.C. has been filed for quashing the entire proceedings of Complaint Case No.3218 of 2012 (Muzeeb Khan vs. Dr. Gaurav Agarwal and Others), under Section 420 I.P.C., Police Station Amroha Nagar, District Amroha (J.P. Nagar) as well as summoning order dated 28.01.2013. 3. Learned counsel for the applicants as well as learned counsel for opposite party No. 2 jointly submit that the parties have reconciled their differences and have entered into a compromise. It is submitted that applicant No. 2 and opposite party No. 2 filed a compromise before the Trial Court, i.e., the Judicial Magistrate/Addl. Civil Judge (Junior Division), Amroha, and the same has been duly verified by the Trial Court. A certified copy of the compromise, the affidavit of opposite party No. 2, Muzeeb Khan, as well as the order sheet dated 10.11.2015 of the Trial Court, have been filed along with the supplementary affidavit. They further submit that in view of the compromise entered into between the parties, no dispute now survives. It is also contended that the role of applicant No. 1 was limited to introducing applicant Nos. 2 and 3, and the main allegations were levelled against applicant Nos. 2 and 3. 4. Learned counsel for the applicant and learned counsel for opposite party no. 2 jointly submitted that the parties have entered into compromise, which has duly been verified by the Trial Court. 5. Learned A.G.A. has fairly conceded that compromise has been effected Versus Counsel for Applicant(s) : Mayank Yadav, Vivek Kumar Singh Counsel for Opposite Party(s) : Govt. Advocate, Rajneesh Tripathi, Rakesh Chandra Tiwari Dr. Priti Singhal @ Priti Jindal And 2 Ors. .....Applicant(s) State of U.P. and Another .....Opposite Party(s) between the parties and the same has duly been verified by the Trial Court. 6. Hon'ble Apex Court in catena of decisions has held that inherent power can be used to do real and substantial justice as has been held in Gian Singh Vs State of Punjab, 2012 AIR SCW 5333, B.S. Joshi and others Vs State of Haryana, (2003) 3 SCC 675 and Narinder Singh Vs State of Punjab, (2014) 6 SCC 466. Hence, inherent power can be exercised to speed up the process of ending the criminal proceedings where the settlement is arrived at between the parties. 7. In view of the aforesaid facts and considering that the parties do not wish to pursue the case any further, the dispute is essentially of a private nature and has no wider social impact. Since it has been mutually settled between the parties by way of a compromise, no useful purpose would be served by proceeding with the matter further. 8. For the discussions made above, the present application is allowed and entire proceedings of Complaint Case No.3218 of 2012 (Muzeeb Khan vs. Dr. Gaurav Agarwal and Others), under Section 420 I.P.C., Police Station Amroha Nagar, District Amroha (J.P. Nagar) as well as summoning order dated 28.01.2013 are hereby quashed. February 23, 2026 Amit A482 No. 29845 of 2013 2 (Sanjiv Kumar,J.)
