Considering the fact that the dispute between the parties is of private nature and it does not affect the public at large and 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 criminal proceedings would be an exercise in futility. 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 application is allowed and the impugned charge sheet No. 1 dated 11.09.202, cognizance & summoning order dated 23.12.2024 as well as the entire proceeding of Criminal Case No. 129603/2024, arising out of Case Crime No. 304/2024, under Sections 498-A, 323,504, 506 IPC & 3/4 DP Act, Police Station Gazipur, District Lucknow, pending in the court of Special Chief Judicial Magistrate, Lucknow are quashed.
