HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT ALLAHABAD LUCKNOW APPLICATION U/S 482 No. - 9292 of 2025 Court No. - 14 HON'BLE RAJEEV SINGH, J.
1. Vakalatnama filed by Shri Abhishek Kumar, Advocate on behalf of the opposite party No.2 is taken on record. 2. Heard learned counsel for the applicants, learned A.G.A. for the State of U.P., learned counsel for the opposite party no.2 and perused the record. 3. This application has been filed with the following prayer:-
"To quash the entire criminal proceedings arising out of Case Crime No. 221-A/2009, U/S-147/323/504/506/336/427 read with section 34 I.P.C. registered at P.S.- Mankapur, District-Gonda, (State versus Ram Chandra Dubey and others) pending before the court of Civil Judge (S.D.), Gonda on the basis of compromise settled between the parties on 15/09/2025 as same was also verified by the Ld. Court below in pursuance of the order passed by this Hon'ble Court."
4. Learned counsel for the applicants as well as learned counsel for opposite party No.2 jointly submitted that vide order dated 26.09.2025, a direction was given to the trial court to verify the factum of compromise executed by the parties. In pursuance of the aforesaid order, learned trial court had verified the contents of compromise. 5. Learned counsel for the applicants and learned counsel for opposite party no. 2 jointly submitted that the parties have entered into compromise, which has duly been verified by the trial court vide report/order dated 13.10.2025. Versus Counsel for Applicant(s) : Anoop Kumar Upadhyay Counsel for Opposite Party(s) : G.A. Ram Chandar Dubey And 16 Others .....Applicant(s) State Of U.P. Thru. Prin. Secy. Deptt. Of Home Lko. And Another .....Opposite Party(s)
6. Learned A.G.A. has fairly conceded that compromise has been effected between the parties and the same has duly been verified by the trial court. 7. Hon'ble Apex Court in catena of decisions has held that inherent power can be used to do real and substantial justice as has been held in Gian Singh Vs State of Punjab, 2012 AIR SCW 5333, B.S. Joshi and others Vs State of Haryana, (2003) 3 SCC 675 and Narinder Singh Vs State of Punjab, (2014) 6 SCC 466. Hence, inherent power can be exercised to speed up the process of ending the criminal proceedings where the settlement is arrived at between the parties. 8.
In view of the aforesaid and the fact that parties do not want to pursue the case any further, the matter is purely of personal nature, which has been mutually settled between the parties by way of the compromise, therefore, no useful purpose would be served in proceeding with the matter further. 9. For the discussions made above, the present application is allowed. The entire criminal proceedings arising out of Case Crime No. 221-A/2009, u/s 147/323/504/506/336/427 read with section 34 I.P.C. registered at P.S.- Mankapur, District- Gonda and proceedings of the Case, i.e., (State versus Ram Chandra Dubey and others) pending before the court of Civil Judge (S.D.), Gonda are hereby quashed. 10. Office is directed to communicate this order to learned trial Court, forthwith. November 11, 2025 Arpan A482 No. 9292 of 2025 2 (Rajeev Singh,J.)
