Learned counsel for the opposite party no.2 /complainant has concurred with the arguments of learned counsel for the applicants and submitted that both the parties have amicably settled the dispute and compromised the matter and the complainant 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 property dispute, which is private in nature. The allegation against accused persons is that husband of applicant no.1 has sold the disputed property to the husband of complainant but later on applicant no.1 and her family members executed another sale-deed of same property. The dispute is private in nature and if parties compromise the matter, it would not have adverse impact on society. The complainant of the case does not want to pursue the impugned proceedings against the applicants. 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. 8. In view of the aforesaid, entire impugned proceedings, including summoning order, of the aforesaid complaint case, against applicants, namely, Smt. Manju, Balram Singh, Subhash Chandra & Smt. Kiran are hereby quashed. 9. The application u/s 482 Cr.P.C. is allowed. Order Date :- 6.1.2025 SP/-/RKM Digitally signed by :- RAJESH KUMAR MAURYA High Court of Judicature at Allahabad
