Neutral Citation No. - 2025:AHC:87287 Court No. - 74 Case :- APPLICATION U/S 482 No. - 35609 of 2024 Applicant :- Sarvjeet Opposite Party :- State Of U.P And 2 Others Counsel for Applicant :- Ravindra Prakash Srivastava Counsel for Opposite Party :- G.A. Hon'ble Saurabh Srivastava,J. 1. Heard learned counsel for parties. 2. The present application has been filed to quash entire criminal proceedings as well as impugned order dated 30.09.2024 passed in S.T. No.1045 of 2023 (State Vs. Sarvjeet), arising out of Case Crime No.166 of 2023, under Sections 307, 504 IPC and Section 4/25 Arms Act, P.S. Munderwa, District Basti, pending in the court of learned Ist Additional Session Judge, Basti. 3. At the very outset, learned counsel for applicant submitted that compromise has already been preferred and the same has also been verified by learned court concerned on dated 16.04.2025 which has been appended with this petition, this fact has also been ascertained and seconded by learned counsel for respondent nos.2 and 3. 4. The parties have amicably settled their dispute and fact of compromise has been confirmed and admitted by learned counsel for opposite parties and jointly submitted that there would be no harm and error and would be in the interest of justice that the proceedings may be quashed in light of the compromise. 5. A three-Judge Bench of the Supreme Court in Gian Singh v. State of Punjab & another, (2012) 10 SCC 303, has observed in para 58 of the said judgment that where the High Court quashes a criminal proceeding having regard to the fact that the dispute between the offender and the victim has been settled although the offences are not compoundable, it does so as in its opinion, continuation of criminal proceedings will be an exercise in futility and justice in the case demands that the dispute between the parties is put to an end and peace is resorted; securing the ends of justice being the ultimate guiding factor. 6. In the case of Madhavrao Jiwajirao Scindia v. Sambhajirao Chandraojirao Angre, [(1988) 1 SCC 692], Hon'ble the Apex Court has also observed that where matters are also of civil nature i.e. matrimonial, family disputes, etc. the Court may consider "special facts", "special feature" and quash the criminal proceeding to encourage genuine settlement of disputes between the parties. 7. Keeping in mind the position of law and facts, circumstances of the case, entire criminal proceedings as well as impugned order dated 30.09.2024 passed in S.T. No.1045 of 2023 (State Vs. Sarvjeet), arising out of Case Crime No.166 of 2023, under Sections 307, 504 IPC and Section 4/25 Arms Act, P.S. Munderwa, District Basti, pending in the court of learned Ist Additional Session Judge, Basti, are hereby quashed. 8. Accordingly, the present application stands allowed. 9. This order is being passed by this Court after hearing the contesting parties. If at all, respondent nos.2 and 3 feel that they have been duped or betrayed, then in that event, they may file recall application explaining the reasons for filing the said application. 10. The parties may file the copy of this order before the court concerned within two weeks from today. Order Date :- 19.5.2025 Vivek Kr.
