It has been submitted by learned counsel for the applicants that essentially the matter pertains to private dispute between the parties. Now both the parties have amicably settled the dispute and compromised the matter. Earlier, applicants have filed an application under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for quashing of impugned proceedings on the basis of compromise, which was decided by this Court vide order dated 02.12.2023 passed in Application under Section 482 Cr.P.C. No.38762 of 2023 and parties were directed to file compromise before the trial Court concerned and direction was made to the court concerned to verify the same. In pursuance to said order both the parties have filed a compromise application before the trial Court concerned, which has been duly verified. The certified copy of the report of verification has been annexed as annexure no.5 to this application. It was submitted that in view of these facts, the impugned proceedings may be quashed on the basis of compromise. 4. Learned A.G.A. has no objection if parties compromise the matter. 5. I have considered the submissions and perused the record. 6. 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 private dispute 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 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. 7. In view of the aforesaid, entire impugned proceedings, including summoning order of the aforesaid complaint case, against applicants, namely, Bhanu Pratap @ Chandrabhan Gangwar & Narbeer are hereby quashed. 8.
