1. Shri Rajesh Kumar, advocate, has put in appearance by way of filing Vakalatnama on behalf of opposite party no. 2 and the same is taken on record. 2. Heard Shri Prem Prakash Singh, learned counsel for the applicants, Shri Rajesh Kumar, learned counsel for opposite party no. 2, learned A.G.A. for the State and perused the record. 3. The instant application under Section 482 Cr.P.C./ 528 BNSS has been filed with the following main reliefs:-
"For the facts, reasons and circumstances stated in the accompanying affidavit, it is most respectfully prayed that this Hon'ble Court may kindly be pleased to quash the proceedings of Criminal Case No. POCSO No.- 370 of 2025, State Vs Rishabh Raghuvanshi and Another arising out of Case Crime No.- 160/2016, U/S-392, 411 IPC, Police-Station-GRP Akbarpur District-Ambedkarnagar, pending in the Court of Special Judge POCSO Act Ambedkarnagar, in the interest of justice. It is further prayed that proceedings of POCSO No.-370 of 2025, State Vs Rishabh Raghuvanshi and Another arising out of Case Crime No. 160/2016, U/S-392, 411 IPC., Police-Station-GRP Akbarpur, District- Ambedkarnagar, pending in the Court of Special Judge POCSO Act Ambedkarnagar, may kindly be stayed during the pendency of this petition."
4. Learned counsel appearing for the applicants submits that the applicants are innocent and have falsely been implicated in the instant case. He next added that under some misunderstanding, the instant F.I.R. has been lodged against the applicants and thereafter, the parties have amicably compromised their dispute. The compromise deed has been reduced in writing on 03.06.2025 which has been annexed as annexure no. 4 to the instant application. He next added that now there is no grievance in between the parties with each other and the criminal proceedings against the applicants are the futile exercise as there is no fate of trial and that is amount to
harassment of the applicants and thus, the criminal proceedings against the applicants may be quashed. 5.
On the other hand, learned counsel appearing for the opposite parties has supported the version of the learned counsel for the applicants and submits that the parties have settled their dispute amicably through a compromise deed and there is no further grievance of the opposite parties against the present applicants and the criminal proceedings against the applicants may be dropped. 6. Learned A.G.A. appearing for the State has no objection to the contentions aforesaid. 7. Now whether the parties have, in fact, compromised the matter or not, can best be ascertained by the court below as such compromise has to be duly verified in presence of the parties concerned before the Court. 8. Accordingly, this application is disposed of with a direction to the court concerned that if any such compromise is filed before it, it shall issue notices to all the signatories to the compromise requiring their personal presence and, thereafter, proceed to verify the compromise. If the aforesaid compromise is verified, a report to that effect shall be prepared by the court and the compromise will be made part of the record. 9. The court in that scenario will allow the parties to obtain certified copy of the report as well as compromise and it will be open to the applicants to approach this Court again for quashing of the proceedings. 10 For a period of three months, the proceedings initiated in pursuance of the Criminal Case No. POCSO No.-370 of 2025 (State Vs. Rishabh Raghuvanshi and another), arising out of Case Crime No.- 160/2016, U/S-392, 411 IPC, Police Station GRP Akbarpur, District Ambedkarnagar shall remain stayed so far as applicants are concerned. 11. The trial Court is directed to examine the fact that whether all the parties against whom the chargesheet was filed, the party in the compromise and in this respect, it shall also sent a report along with the verification order. 12.
Office is directed to return the original compromise deed to the learned counsel for the applicants, if any, after taking the photocopy of the same. Order Date :- 29.7.2025/Mohd. Sharif Digitally signed by :- MOHAMMAD SHARIF High Court of Judicature at Allahabad, Lucknow Bench
