The instant application under Section 482 Cr.P.C./528 of the B.N.S.S.,2023 has been filed with the prayer to set-aside the entire proceeding of Criminal Case No. 314/2020, arising out of Case Crime No. 0038 of 2020, U/s 420, 406, 506 of I.P.C., Police Station-Patranga, District-Ayodhya (so far it relates to the petitioners) on the basis of compromise/settlement dated 20.08.2025 held between the of opposite party no. 2 and petitioners.
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 20-08-2025, which has been annexed as annexure no. 4 to the instant application.

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. On the other hand, learned counsel appearing for the opposite party no. 2 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. Learned A.G.A. 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 applicants to approach this Court again for quashing of the proceedings. For a period of three months, the proceedings arsing out of Case Crime No. 0038 of 2020, U/s 420, 406, 506 of I.P.C., Police Station-Patranga, District-Ayodhya, shall remain stayed so far as present applicants are 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.
