Learned counsel for applicant submitted that in compliance of earlier order dated 10.04.2025, verification report has already been received and the same is appended along with the order sheet and supplementary affidavit preferred today. The parties had entered into compromise on dated 25.05.2025 and the same has also been verified by Additional Sessions Judge (POCSO), Court no. 3, Aligarh vide order dated 01.05.2025 which is annexed as SA-1' to the supplementary affidavit. 5. Learned AGA showed no objection to aforesaid contention of learned counsel for applicants. 6. From perusal of records, it transpires that the parties have amicably settled their dispute and fact of compromise has been confirmed and admitted by learned counsel for the parties and it has been submitted that there would be no harm and error and it would be in the interest of justice that the proceedings may be quashed in light of the compromise. 7.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. 1334 of 2024 (State vs. Ramesh and others) arising out of Case Crime no. 501 of 2022, u/s 147, 452, 323, 325, 354B, 504, 506 IPC, 7/8 POCSO Act, Police Station- Iglas, District- Aligarh as well as impugned charge sheet dated 03.11.2023 alongwith cognizance/summoning order dated 22.07.2024, are hereby quashed, only in respect of applicants herein. 10. Accordingly, the present application stands allowed. 11. The parties may file the copy of this order before the court concerned within two weeks from today.
