HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT ALLAHABAD APPLICATION U/S 528 BNSS No. - 5150 of 2025 Court No. - 92 HON'BLE RAM MANOHAR NARAYAN MISHRA, J.
1. 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. 2. The applicants have invoked the inherent jurisdiction of this Court under Section 528 BNSS for quashing the charge-sheet dated 19.01.2024, cognizance order dated 20.07.2024 as well as entire proceedings of Case No. 7994 of 2024 (State Vs. Anwar Husain), arising out of Case Crime No. 602 of 2023, under Sections 420, 504, 506, 467, 468, 471 I.P.C., Police Station Didauli, District Amroha on the basis of compromise deed dated 06.01.2025. 3. It is submitted that during pendency of the criminal proceedings, both the parties have arrived at compromise and settled their dispute amicably out of the Court. Therefore, instant application may be allowed and criminal proceedings may be quashed. Learned counsel for the applicant submitted that vide order dated 23.7.2025 a direction was given to the court below to verify the compromise executed by the parties. In pursuance of the aforesaid order, the parties appeared before the court below and the learned court below had verified the contents of compromise in presence of the parties. 4. Learned counsel for the parties jointly submitted that the parties have entered into compromise, which has duly been verified by the court below vide report dated 30.7.2025 after recording statement of the parties. Copy of verification order and proceedings of the court regarding verification are filed before the Court. The offence is triable by Magistrate and is Versus Counsel for Applicant(s) : Dr. Kamlesh Kumar Counsel for Opposite Party(s) : G.A., Rakesh Kumar Anwar Husain .....Applicant(s) State of U.P. and Another .....Opposite Party(s)
essentially of private nature, which has no quite social impact. 5. Learned A.G.A. has fairly conceded that compromise has been effected between the parties and the same has duly been verified by the court below. 6. 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. 7. 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. 8. For the discussions made above, the present application is allowed and consequently, entire criminal proceedings of aforesaid case are hereby quashed.
