1. Heard Sri Prince Singh, the learned counsel for the applicant, Sri Hansraj Verma, the learned A.G.A. for the State and Sri Akhil Anand, Advocate holding brief of Sri Prabhat Kumar, the learned counsel for opposite party No.2 and perused the record. Short counter affidavit filed by the learned counsel for opposite party No.2 is taken on record. 2. By means of the instant application filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C./Section 528 BNSS, the applicants have sought quashing of the impugned charge sheet dated 07.12.2023, summoning order dated 26.05.2025 along with entire proceedings of Criminal Case No.938 of 2024:State Vs. Pradeep Singh, arising out of Case Crime No.173 of 2023, under Sections 323, 452, 504, 506 I.P.C. Police Station Barasagwar, District Unnao, pending in the Court of learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate-I, Unnao on the basis of compromise arrived at between the parties. 3. Learned counsel for the parties submit that the parties
have settled their dispute amicably outside the Court and they have arrived at a compromise. Compromise deed has been placed on record as Annexure No.4 to the application. The parties have confirmed the terms of compromise. 4. 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 fact that the dispute between the parties is personal in nature and 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.
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 proceedings of impugned charge sheet dated 07.12.2023, summoning order dated 26.05.2025 along with entire
proceedings of Criminal Case No.938 of 2024:State Vs. Pradeep Singh, arising out of Case Crime No.173 of 2023, under Sections 323, 452, 504, 506 I.P.C.
