Learned counsel for the opposite party no.2 has concurred with the arguments of learned counsel for the applicant and submitted that both the parties have amicably settled the dispute and compromised the matter and the complainant/ opposite party no.2 does not want to proceed with the case pending before the trial court and 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, matter relates to civil dispute and it was submitted that both the parties have settled all the disputes and compromised the matter.
The dispute between the parties is civil in nature and it was submitted on behalf of both the parties that impugned proceedings may be quashed on the basis of compromise between the parties. If parties compromise the matter, it would not have adverse impact on society. There is nothing to indicate that parties have any criminal antecedents. The counter affidavit of opposite party no.2 is also on record, wherein it has been stated that the impugned proceedings may be quashed. Considering the law laid down in the case of State of Madhya Pradesh Vs. Laxmi Narayan and others, AIR 2019 SC 1296 and the facts of the matter, it would be in the interest of justice that the impugned proceedings be quashed. 8. In view of the aforesaid, the entire proceedings of Criminal Case No. 1395 of 2016 (State Vs.
