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 08.10.2025. Versus Counsel for Applicant(s) : Indrapal Singh Counsel for Opposite Party(s) : G.A. Bhajan Lal And 4 Others .....Applicant(s) State Of U.P. Thru. Prin. Secy. Home Lko. And 3 Others .....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 and the proceeding of FIR/Case Crime No. 0312/2019, under Section- 147, 323, 504, 506 IPC and 3(1)(Da), 3(1)(Gha)) SC/ST Act, Police Station-Purwa, District-Unnao are hereby quashed. 10. Office is directed to communicate this order to learned trial Court, forthwith. November 18, 2025 Anurag A482 No. 9654 of 2025 2 (Rajeev Singh,J.)
