A three-Judge Bench of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in Gian Singh v. State of Punjab & another, (2012) 10 SCC 303, has observed in para 58 of the said judgment that where the High Court quashes a criminal proceeding having regard to the fact that the dispute between the offender and the victim has been settled although the offences are not compoundable, it does so as in its opinion, continuation of criminal proceedings will be an exercise in futility and justice in the case demands that the dispute between the parties is put to an end and peace is resorted; securing the ends of justice being the ultimate guiding factor. 8. In the case of Madhavrao Jiwajirao Scindia v. Sambhajirao Chandraojirao Angre, [(1988) 1 SCC 692], Hon'ble the Apex Court has also observed that where matters are also of civil nature i.e. matrimonial, family disputes, etc. the Court may consider
"special facts", "special feature" and quash the criminal proceeding to encourage genuine settlement of disputes between the parties. 9. In view of the aforementioned facts and circumstances, the entire proceeding of Case no. 1559 of 2025 (State vs. Saqil and others) arising out of Case Crime no. 370 of 2024 under sections 115(2), 352, 351(3), 333, 118(1) BNS, PS- Masuri, District Ghaziabad, are hereby quashed, only in respect of applicants namely Waseem and Tasleem. 10. Accordingly, the present application stands allowed. 11. The parties may file the copy of this order before the court concerned within three weeks from today. NA528 No. 25827 of 2025 2
12. If at all, opposite party no. 2 feels that he/she has been duped or betrayed, then in that event, he/she may file recall application explaining the reasons for filing the said application.
