In pursuance of the aforesaid order, learned trial court had verified the contents of compromise. 5.

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 and the summoning order dated 16.06.2023 and charge-sheet no.01 of 2022 dated 03.07.2022 and entire proceedings of criminal case no.66303 of 2023, case crime no.41 of 2022, u/s 147, 323, 427, 504 IPC, P.S. Shairpur Lucknow North, Commissionerate Lucknow pending before the Judicial Magsitrate-II, Lucknow are hereby quashed. 10. Office is directed to communicate this order to learned trial Court, forthwith. November 13, 2025 Raj A482 No. 3482 of 2025 2 (Rajeev Singh,J.)
