1. Heard learned counsel for applicant, learned counsel for opposite party no. 2 and learned A.G.A. for the State. 2. This application u/s 482 Cr.P.C. has been filed for quashing of the entire proceedings, including the impugned summoning order dated 26.02.2020, of Complaint Case No. 2454 of 2019 (Smt. Ruchi Gupta Vs. Ankit Gupta and Others), under Sections - 354, 323, 504, 506, 427 I.P.C., Police Station - South, District - Firozabad, pending in the court of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Firozabad on the basis of compromise arrived at between the parties. 3. It is submitted by learned counsel for the applicant that applicant is brother-in-law of opposite party no. 2 and that alleged incident took place due to misconception. The complainant has not sustained any injury. Both the parties have amicably settled the disputes and compromised the case. In pursuance to the order of this Court, the compromise has already verified by the Trial Court concerned. It was submitted that in view of these facts and circumstances, no useful purpose would be served by keeping the impugned proceedings pending and thus, the same may be quashed on the basis of compromise arrived at between the parties. 4. Learned counsel for the opposite party no. 2 has also concurred with arguments of learned counsel for the applicant and submitted that both the parties have amicably settled the dispute and compromised the case and thus, 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 between the parties. In the instant case, it appears that dispute between the parties is private in nature. The applicant no. 1 is brother-in-law of opposite party no. 2. It was submitted on behalf of both the parties that both the parties have compromised the case and impugned proceedings may be quashed. If parties compromise the matter, it would not have any adverse impact on society.
The compromise filed by the parties before the Trial Court, has already been verified by the court concerned. 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 impugned summoning order and entire proceedings of the aforesaid case against applicant, namely, Ankit Guta are, hereby, quashed. 9. The application u/s 482 Cr.P.C. is allowed.
