It has been argued by the learned counsel for the applicants that the dispute between the parties relates to payment of money, which is private in nature and that now both the parties have amicably settled the dispute and the complainant of the case does not want to pursue the impugned proceedings. The compromise filed by the parties before the trial court concerned, has already been verified by the court concerned, copy of which is on record.

Learned counsel for the opposite party no.2 /complainant has concurred with the arguments of learned counsel for the applicants and submitted that both the parties have amicably settled the dispute and compromised the matter and the complainant does not want to proceed with the case pending before the trial court and thus, the impugned proceedings may be quashed. 5. Learned A.G.A. has no objection if parties compromise the matter. 6. I have considered the submissions and perused the record. 7. It is well settled that in appropriate cases criminal proceedings may be quashed on the basis of compromise. In the instant case, the matter relates to payment of money between the parties, which is private in nature. If parties compromise the matter, it would not have adverse impact on society. The complainant of the case does not want to pursue the impugned proceedings. There is nothing to indicate that parties have any criminal antecedents. The compromise filed by the parties before the trial court, has already been verified by the court concerned. Considering facts of the matter, it would be in the interest of justice that the impugned proceedings be quashed. 8.
