Heard learned counsel for the applicants, learned A.G.A. for the State, Sri Syed Sharim Akhtar, learned counsel for the opposite party no. 2 and perused the record. By means of the instant application, the applicants have prayed for quashing the proceedings initiated by Chargesheet No:-02/2021 dated 24/02/2022 filed by the investigating officer in Case Crime No. 153/2019 of FIR Dated 07/05/2019 P.S Chowk Lucknow, pending before the Hon'ble Court of ADJ-1, Lucknow.
Learned counsel appearing for the applicants submits that due to some misunderstanding the instant FIR was lodged and thereafter, the parties sat together and they have settled their dispute and that too, has been reduced in writing as a compromise deed dated
19.07.2023. Adding his arguments, he submits that now the parties have put their all disputes at rest by way of executing compromise deed and thus further criminal proceedings against the present applicants would be a futile exercise and amount to harassment of the applicants. Adding his arguments, he also submits that this Hon'ble Court vide
order dated 04.08.2025 has referred the matter for compromise verification in Application U/S 482 Cr.P.C. No. 6238 of 2025 and in compliance of the aforesaid order, both the parties have appeared Versus Counsel for Applicant(s) : Ishan Baghel Counsel for Opposite Party(s) : G.A., Qazi Sabihur Rahman Guru Dutt And 3 Others .....Applicant(s) State Of U.P.

before the court below and the compromise deed dated 19.07.2025 has been verified in presence of all concerned parties and the order of verification was passed on 26.08.2025 by the learned Additional District & Sessions Judge, Court No. 17, Lucknow. He next added that now the matter has been compromised in between the parties, and as such the proceedings of S.T. No. 923 of 2024, arising out of Case Crime No. 153 of 2019, under Sections 323,504,506 of IPC, Police Station-Chowk, District - Lucknow, may be quashed. On the other hand, learned counsel for the opposite party no.2 has also supported the version of the applicants and submits that the parties have entered into compromise deed and now there is no dispute in between the parties and thus the criminal proceeding against the applicant may be dropped. On the other hand, learned AGA appearing for the State has no objection to the contentions aforesaid. Considering the aforesaid submissions of the learned counsel for the parties, I find that compromise has been entered into between the parties on 19.07.2025 and said compromise has been verified on 26.08.2025 and, now, as per the statement of learned counsel for the parties, they do not want to press the aforementioned case, arising out of aforementioned Case Crime No. 153 of 2019. In view of the above, as the applicants and opposite parties have entered into compromise on 19.07.2025 and no grievance remains to be agitated and as such, further criminal proceedings in the aforementioned criminal case are liable to be set aside in view of the Judgements of the Apex Court rendered in B.S.
