HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT ALLAHABAD APPLICATION U/S 482 No. - 31596 of 2024 Court No. - 83 HON'BLE SANJIV KUMAR, J.
1. Supplementary affidavit filed on behalf of the applicants is taken on record. 2. Heard Sri Jitendra Rana, learned Counsel for the applicants, learned A.G.A. for the State, Sri Chandra Pal Singh, learned Counsel for the opposite party no. 2 and perused the record. 3. The instant application has been filed for quashing the entire proceedings of Case No.1645 of 2020 arising out of Case Crime No.320 of 2020, under Sections 452, 323, 504 and 506 I.P.C., Police Station Bahadurgarh, District Hapur as well as charge-sheet dated 29.10.2020 and cognizance order dated 10.12.2020. 4. Learned Counsel for the applicants as well as opposite party No.2 jointly submitted that vide order dated 18.12.2025 a direction was given to the Trial Court to verify the factum of compromise executed by the parties. In pursuance of the aforesaid order, the parties have verified the compromise as informed by the Trial Court vide report dated 29.01.2026. 5. 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 vide report dated 29.01.2026. 6. Learned A.G.A. has fairly conceded that compromise has been effected Versus Counsel for Applicant(s) : Jitendra Rana Counsel for Opposite Party(s) : G.A. Aadesh Raghav And 2 Others .....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. 7. 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. 8. 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. 9. For the discussions made above, the present application is allowed and entire proceedings of Case No.1645 of 2020 arising out of Case Crime No.320 of 2020, under Sections 452, 323, 504 and 506 I.P.C., Police Station Bahadurgarh, District Hapur as well as charge-sheet dated 29.10.2020 and cognizance order dated 10.12.2020 are hereby quashed.
