The compromise has been verified between the parties by the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Ambedkar Nagar vide order dated 08.04.2025, copy of which has been annexed as Annexure-3 to the supplementary affidavit dated 22.04.2025 filed by the applicants, in compliance of the order dated 26.03.2025 passed by this Court. 4. I have considered the submissions of learned counsel for the parties. 5. Considering the ratio laid down by the Supreme Court in the cases of B. S. Joshi and others versus State of Haryana and another :(2003) 4 SCC 675, Nikhil Merchant versus C.B.I. and another : (2008) 9 SCC 677, Manoj Sharma versus State and others : (2008) 16 SCC 1, Gian Singh versus Station of Punjab: (2010) 15 SCC 118 and Narinder Singh and others versus State of Punjab and another: (2014) 6 SCC 466, it would be appropriate in the facts and circumstances of the case to quash the criminal proceedings as continuance of the proceedings in pursuance of the criminal proceedings would be an exercise in futility. 6. In view of the fact that the parties have settled their dispute outside the Court by way of compromise arrived at between the parties and law laid down by the Supreme Court of India, the present petition is allowed and the entire proceeding of SC/ST No.3077/2016 (State Vs.
