Learned counsel for the petitioners has submitted that on ac- count of certain physical altercation inter-se the neighbours, cross FIRs were lodged. It is further submitted that due to the injuries inflicted in the said altercations, one of the persons was also ad- mitted in the hospital. Learned counsel for the respective parties have placed reliance upon the judgment titled as Naushey Ali And Ors vs. State of Uttar Pradesh and Ors. reported in (2025) 4 SCC 78. 3. Parties including the then injured person (present-in- Court) have submitted that have amicably settled the dispute inter-se them and are desirous to put quietus to the impugned FIRs and proceedings arising therefrom. Further, members of the village have unanimously taken a decision that compromise would result in peace and harmony among the parties. 4. Heard and considered. 5. At the outset, this Court deems it appropriate to place reli- ance upon the judgment passed by the Hon’ble Apex Court in Gian Singh Vs. State of Punjab [(2012) 10 SCC 303], as Naushey Ali And Ors vs. State of Uttar Pradesh and Ors. re- ported in (2025) 4 SCC 78 and Ramgopal Vs. The State of Madhya Pradesh reported in [2022 (14) SCC 531], relevant portion of which is reproduced below:
“12. The High Court, therefore, having regard to the nature of the offence and the fact that parties have amic- ably settled their dispute and the victim has willingly con- sented to the nullification of criminal proceedings, can quash such proceedings in exercise of its inherent powers
[2025:RJ-JP:25690] (4 of 4) [CRLMP-2641/2025] under Section 482 Cr.P.C., even if the offences are non- compoundable.”
6. In view of the position of law laid down by the Hon’ble Apex Court in aforementioned case, considering the unique nature of the case, taking note of the fact that parties herein are residents of the same village and live in close vicinity; that parties have settled the dispute amicably inter-se them; that quashing of FIRs and consequential proceedings will advance peace, fellowship and harmony among the parties, this Court deems it just and proper to allow the present misc. petitions. Compromise is taken on re- cord. 7.
Considering the aforementioned, the present criminal miscel- laneous petitions are allowed and the FIR No.256/2024 registered at Police Station Pilani, District Jhunjhunu, FIR No. 257/2024 re- gistered at Police Station Pilani, District Jhunjhunu and FIR No.255/2024 registered at Police Station Pilani, District Jhunjunu, with all consequential proceedings arising therefrom, are hereby quashed and set aside. 8.
