And 2 Others Counsel for Applicant :- Syed Waqar Husain,Syd Shaheen Fatma Counsel for Opposite Party :- G.A. Hon'ble Shree Prakash Singh,J. Short counter affidavit alongwith Vakalatnama has been filed by Sri Salman Abbas, Advocate on behalf of opposite parties nos. 2 and 3, which is taken on record. Heard learned counsel for the applicant, Sri Salman Abbas, learned counsel appearing for opposite parties nos. 2 and 3 and learned AGA for the State as well as perused the record. The instant application under Section 482 Cr.P.C. has been filed with the prayer to quash the chargesheet arising out of Case No. 43988 of 2023 in Case Crime No. 176 of 2021, under Sections 188, 323, 325, 504, 506 IPC, Police Station Wazeerganj, District Lucknow as well as entire proceedings in pursuance thereof.
Learned counsel appearing for the applicant submits that the applicant is innocent and has falsely been implicated in the instant case. He next added that due to some misunderstanding, the instant FIR has been lodged and criminal proceedings have been initiated against the applicant and thereafter, the parties have amicably compromised their dispute. The compromise deed has been reduced in writing on 28.07.2025, 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 applicant are the futile exercise as there is no fate of trial and that is amount to harassment of the applicant and thus, the criminal proceedings against the applicant may be quashed. On the other hand, learned counsel appearing for opposite parties nos. 2 and 3 has supported the version of the learned counsel for the applicant 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 applicant and the criminal proceedings against the applicant may be dropped. Learned AGA appearing for the State has no objection to the contentions aforesaid. 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. 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. 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 applicant to approach this Court again for quashing of the proceedings. For a period of three months, the proceedings initiated in pursuance of Case No. 43988 of 2023 arising out of Case Crime No. 176 of 2021, under Sections 188, 323, 325, 504, 506 IPC, Police Station Wazeerganj, District Lucknow, shall remain stayed, so far as present applicant is concerned.
The trial court is further directed for ensuring the fact that all the parties against whom the chargesheet was filed are present before the trial court and a report with respect to this effect shall also be sent alongwith verification order. Office is directed to return back the original compromise deed dated 28.07.2025 to learned counsel for the applicant within a week.
