Neutral Citation No. - 2025:AHC:132054 Court No. - 77 Case :- APPLICATION U/S 528 BNSS No. - 11700 of 2025 Applicant :- Gopal Singh Opposite Party :- State of U.P. and Another Counsel for Applicant :- Rohan Gupta Counsel for Opposite Party :- G.A. Hon'ble Saurabh Srivastava,J. 1. Heard Mr. Rohan Gupta, learned counsel for applicant and learned AGA. 2. The present application has been filed to quash chargesheet dated 15.09.2023 and order of taking cognizance dated 19.01.2024 as well as entire criminal proceedings of Case No.103 of 2024, arising out of Case Crime No.53 of 2022, under Section 420 IPC and Section 66 I.T. Act, P.S. Murad Nagar, District Ghaziabad, pending in the court of learned Additional Civil Judge (J.D.), Court No.1, Ghaziabad. 3. At the very outset, learned counsel for applicant submitted that compromise has already been preferred and the same has also been verified by learned court concerned which has been appended with this petition. 4. The parties have amicably settled their dispute and fact of compromise has been confirmed and admitted by learned counsel for applicant as well as learned AGA and jointly submitted that there would be no harm and error and would be in the interest of justice that the proceedings may be quashed in light of the compromise. 5. A three-Judge Bench of the 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. 6. 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. 7. Keeping in mind the position of law and facts, circumstances of the case, chargesheet dated 15.09.2023 and order of taking cognizance dated 19.01.2024 as well as entire criminal proceedings of Case No.103 of 2024, arising out of Case Crime No.53 of 2022, under Section 420 IPC and Section 66 I.T. Act, P.S. Murad Nagar, District Ghaziabad, pending in the court of learned Additional Civil Judge (J.D.), Court No.1, Ghaziabad, are hereby quashed. 8. Accordingly, the present application stands allowed. 9. However, it is made clear that if, opposite party no. 2 feels that he has been duped or betrayed, then in that event, he may file recall application explaining the reasons for filing the said application. 10. The parties may file the copy of this order before the court concerned within two weeks from today. Order Date :- 5.8.2025 Vivek Kr.
