Neutral Citation No. - 2025:AHC-LKO:44563 Court No. - 15 Case :- APPLICATION U/S 482 No. - 6262 of 2025 Applicant :- Sanni Pandey Alias Badal Pandey And Another Opposite Party :- State Of U.P. Thru. Prin. Secy. Home Deptt. Lko. And Another Counsel for Applicant :- Navneet Awasthi Counsel for Opposite Party :- G.A. Hon'ble Subhash Vidyarthi,J.
1. Heard Sri Navneet Awasthi, the learned counsel for the applicants, Sri Nagarjurn Pandey, the learned State Counsel and Sri Gaurav Chand Kaushik, 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 charge-sheet dated 15.08.2022 , the summoning order dated 18.05.2023 passed by the court of CJM, Lucknow as well as the entire proceedings of Criminal Case No.58349 of 2023 arising out of the Case Crime No.348/2022 u/S 323/427/452/506 IPC relating to Police Station-Vibhuti Khand, Lucknow. 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-4 to the petition. The parties have confirmed the terms of the compromise. The compromise deed dated annexed as Annexure No.4 has been verified by means of an order dated 17.04.2025 passed by the court of Addl. Chief Judicial Magistrate-II, Room No.26, Lucknow in compliance of the order passed by this Court in Application u/S 482 No.2333 of 2025. 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 the charge-sheet dated 15.08.2022 , the summoning order dated 18.05.2023 passed by the court of CJM, Lucknow as well as the entire proceedings of Criminal Case No.58349 of 2023 arising out of the Case Crime No.348/2022 u/S 323/427/452/506 IPC relating to Police Station-Vibhuti Khand, Lucknow are quashed. .
