As per the compromise executed between the parties, it has been submitted by learned counsel for the applicants that the dispute was a petty dispute with respect to a small payment of money, which led to filing of this application. However, on intervention of respectable member of the community, all disputes have been resolved and the continuation of proceedings before the learned Court below would tantamount to abuse of process of law and the same may be quashed on the basis of compromise. 5. It is also submitted by learned counsel for the applicants that except Section 452 IPC, all the other offences are compoundable and keeping in view the compromise, the proceedings may be quashed. 6.

A482 No. 43626 of 2024 2 7. This Court is not unmindful of the judgement of the Hon'ble Supreme Court passed in the case of Narinder Singh and others Vs. State of Punjab, (2014) 6 SCC 466, Parbatbhai Aahir Vs. State of Gujarat, (2017) 9 SCC 641 and State of M.P. Vs. Laxmi Narayan, (2019) 5 SCC 688, wherein Hon'ble Supreme Court has categorically held that compromise can be made between the parties even in respect of certain cognizable and non compoundable offences. Reference may also be made to the decision given by this Court in Shaifullah and others Vs. State of U.P. and another [2013 (83) ACC 278], in which, law expounded by Hon'ble Supreme Court, in the aforesaid cases, has been explained in detail. 8. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, as noted herein above, and also the submissions made by learned counsel for the parties and seeing that the compromise has been effected, the dispute in question is a petty dispute with respect to a small payment of money, which has been amicably resolved, this Court is of the considered opinion that no useful purpose would be served by prolonging the proceedings of this case. 9. Accordingly, the entire proceedings of Case No.2231 of 2008 (Yogesh Kumar Sharma vs. Sushil Jadon and others) under Sections 323, 452, 504, 506 IPC, P.S. Kotwali, District Mathura as well as summoning order dated 01.05.2009, pending in the Court of Judicial Magistrate, Court No.5, Mathura are hereby quashed. 10. The instant application stands allowed.
