Neutral Citation No. - 2025:AHC-LKO:44253 Court No. - 15 Case :- APPLICATION U/S 482 No. - 6088 of 2025 Applicant :- Mohd. Haneef And 5 Others Opposite Party :- State Of U.P. Thru. Prin. Secy. Home Lko. And Another Counsel for Applicant :- Abdul Samad Counsel for Opposite Party :- G.A. Hon'ble Subhash Vidyarthi,J.
1. Heard Sri Abdul Samad, the learned counsel for the applicants, Sri Hansraj Verma, the learned A.G.A. for the State and Sri Sunil Sharma, the learned counsel for opposite party No.2 and perused the record. 2. By means of the instant application filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C., the applicants have sought quashing of the entire proceedings of Criminal Case No. 49952 of 2022, arising out of Case Crime No. 0530 of 2021 under Sections 147, 323, 504, 506 IPC, P.S.-Mohanlalganj, District-Lucknow and also Charge sheet dated 01.01.2022. 3. Learned counsels for the parties submit that they have settled their dispute amicably outside the Court and they have arrived at the compromise. Compromise entered into between the parties have been placed on record as Annexure-6 to the petition. The parties have confirmed the terms of the compromise. 4. Opposite party No.2 has filed counter affidavit stating that she 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 entire proceedings of Criminal Case No. 49952 of 2022, arising out of Case Crime No. 0530 of 2021 under Sections 147, 323, 504, 506 IPC, P.S.- Mohanlalganj, District-Lucknow and also Charge sheet dated 01.01.2022, are hereby quashed.
