Heard and considered. 5. At the outset, this Court deems it appropriate to place reliance upon the judgment passed by the Hon’ble Apex Court in Gian Singh Vs. State of Punjab [(2012) 10 SCC 303] and Ramgopal Vs. The State of Madhya Pradesh reported in [2022 (14) SCC 531], relevant portion of which is reproduced below: “12. The High Court, therefore, having regard to the nature of the offence and the fact that parties have amicably settled their dispute and the victim has willingly consented to the nullification of criminal proceedings, can quash such proceedings in exercise of its inherent powers under Section 482 Cr.P.C., even if the offences are non- compoundable.” 6. In view of the position of law laid down by the Hon’ble Apex Court in aforementioned case, and considering the age of the petitioners and considering the fact that they are not having any criminal antecedents other than the present matter registered [2025:RJ-JP:24118] (3 of 3) [CRLMP-3705/2025] against them; also taking note of the fact that the dispute is of personal nature, which has been amicably settled between parties, this Court deems it just and proper to allow the present misc. petition. Compromise is taken on record. 7. Considering the aforementioned, the present criminal miscellaneous petition is allowed and the FIR No. 092/2025 registered at Police Station Balghat, District Karauli for offences under Sections 115(2), 126(2), 303(2) and 352 of IPC with all consequential proceedings, are hereby quashed and set aside. 8. Accordingly, the instant petition is allowed. Pending application(s), if any, stand disposed of. (SAMEER JAIN),J CHANDAN /128
