Opposite party No.2 does not have any objection, if the impugned proceedings are quashed against the applicants. 5. I have considered the submissions of learned counsel for the parties. 6. 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. 7. 7. 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 entire proceedings of Criminal Case No.29967 of 2022 arising out of the Case Crime No. 645 of 2022 under Sections 420, 409, 467, 468, 471, 504, 506, 109 IPC, Police Station- Kotwali Nagar, Barabanki pending in the Court of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Court No.18, Barabanki are hereby quashed. .
