Neutral Citation No. - 2025:AHC-LKO:48904 Court No. - 14 Case :- APPLICATION U/S 482 No. - 6656 of 2025 Applicant :- Sunil Kumar And 4 Others Opposite Party :- State Of U.P. Thru. Its Prin. Secy. Deptt. Of Home Govt. Lko. And 2 Others Counsel for Applicant :- Avinash Pratap Singh Counsel for Opposite Party :- G.A. Hon'ble Shree Prakash Singh,J.
1. Sri Piyush Singh, Advocate, has put in appearance by way of filing his Vakalatnama on behalf of opposite party nos. 2 and 3 and the same is taken on record. 2. Heard learned counsel for the applicants, learned counsel for opposite party nos.2 and 3, as well as learned A.G.A. for the State and perused the record. 3. The instant application under Section 482 Cr.P.C. has been filed with the prayer to quash the cognizance/summoning order dated 01.09.2022, to quash the charge-sheet dated 05.06.2021 filed in Case Crime No.0238/2021, under Sections 147, 323 and 504 IPC lodged at Police Station Madiyaon, District Lucknow and to quash the consequential entire proceedings, pending in the Court of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Lucknow, so far as they relate to the applicants, on the ground that the parties have arrived at a settlement/compromise. 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 due to 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
07.03.2025, a copy of which has been annexed as Annexure-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 party nos. 2 and 3 has supported the version of the learned counsel for the applicants and submits that the parties have settled their dispute amicably through the 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 trial Court as such compromise has to be duly verified in presence of the parties concerned before the trial Court. 8. Accordingly, this application is disposed of with a direction to the trial 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 further proceedings, arising out of Case Crime No.0238/2021, under Sections 147, 323 and 504 IPC lodged at Police Station Madiyaon, District Lucknow, pending in the Court of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Lucknow shall remain stayed, so far as the applicants are concerned. 11. 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. 12. The applicants are directed to produce the original compromise deed dated 07.03.2025 before the learned trial Court. 13. Office is directed to return the original compromise deed, if any, to the applicants within a week. .
