3. This application u/s 482 Cr.P.C. has been filed with the prayer to quash the entire proceedings, including charge-sheet dated 16.11.2023 as well as cognizance order dated 10.12.2024, of Case No. 20516 of 2024, arising out of Case Crime No. 260 of 2023, under Sections - 147, 323, 504, 506, 34, 325, 308 IPC, P.S.- Jani, District- Meerut, pending in the court of A.C.J.M., Meerut, on the basis of compromise arrived at between the parties.
4. It has been argued by the learned counsel for the applicants that the alleged dispute between the parties has taken place due to misconception and that now both the parties have amicably settled the dispute and the informant of the case and injured do not want to pursue the impugned proceedings. In the alleged incident, the injured persons have not sustained any serious injury. The compromise filed by the parties before the Trial court concerned, has already been verified by the court concerned, copy of which is on record. It was stated that in view of these facts and circumstances, no useful purpose would be served by keeping the impugned proceedings pending and thus, the impugned proceedings may be quashed on the basis of compromise arrived at between the parties.
5. Learned counsel for the opposite party no.2 / informant has concurred with the
arguments of learned counsel for the applicants and submitted that both the parties have amicably settled the dispute and compromised the matter and the informant and injured persons do not want to proceed with the case pending before the Trial court and thus, the impugned proceedings may be quashed.
6. Learned A.G.A. has no objection if parties compromise the matter.
7. I have considered the submissions and perused the record.
8. It is well settled that in appropriate cases criminal proceedings may be quashed on the basis of compromise by invoking inherent powers enshrined under Section - 482 Cr.P.C.. In the instant case, the matter relates to private dispute between the parties. If parties compromise the matter, it would not have adverse impact on society. The informant of the case and injured do not want to pursue the impugned proceedings. There is nothing to indicate that parties have any criminal antecedents. The compromise filed by the parties before the Trial court, has already been verified by the court concerned. Considering facts of the matter, it would be in the interest of justice that the impugned proceedings be quashed.
9. In view of the aforesaid, entire impugned proceedings, including charge-sheet as well as cognizance order, of the aforesaid case, against applicants, namely, Gullu @ Laxman Singh, Anil, Sachin, Ravi and Gaurav, are hereby quashed.
10. The application u/s 482 Cr.P.C. is allowed.
