2. By means of the instant application, the applicant has prayed to quash the entire proceeding of Criminal Case No.757/2019 (State Vs Danish Khan) arising out of Case Crime No.0490/2019, under section 419, 418, 420 I.P.C., PS- Gudamba, District- Lucknow, pending in the court of A.C.J.M.- II Lucknow including the charge sheet dated 09.09.2019 as well as the summoning order dated 23.09.2019, in the light of compromise dated 25.02.2022.
3. The learned counsel for the applicant submits that due to certain misunderstanding, the instant FIR was lodged against the applicant and thereafter the parties sat together and has amicably settled their dispute which has been reduced in writing on 25.02.2022. He added that thereafter the applicant filed the instant application for direction to the trial Court to verify the compromise deed and in compliance of the order dated 29.07.2022, the verification was done and report dated 27.05.2025 has been submitted to this Court. He submits that further criminal proceeding in the instant matter would amount to harassment and thus the instant criminal proceeding arising out of Case Crime No.0490/2019, may be quashed.
4. Learned counsel for the opposite party no.2 has also supported the contention of the learned counsel for the applicant and submits that parties have amicable settled their dispute and the opposite party no. 2 has no grievance, hence, criminal proceedings against the applicant may be dropped.
5. Learned counsel for the State has no objection to the contention aforesaid.
6. Considering the aforesaid submissions of the learned counsel for the parties, I find that compromise has been entered into between the parties on 25.02.2022 and said compromise has been verified on 27.05.2025 and, now, as per the statement of
learned counsel for the parties, they do not want to press the aforementioned criminal case relating to Case Crime No.0490/2019.
