Heard Sri Vijaya Shankar Shukla, learned counsel for applicants, Sri Narendra Kumar Chaubey, learned counsel for opposite party no. 2 and learned AGA for State. 2. Present application u/s 482 Cr.P.C has been preferred with a prayer to allow the instant application and stay and quash the summoning order dated 18.11.2015 passed by Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Court No.2, Badaun in Complaint Case no.1750 of 2014 (Dinesh Pal vs. Sanjay and others) under Sections 147, 148, 323, 504 and 506 IPC, Police Station Dataganj, District Badaun. 3. On the basis of verification report submitted by learned Additional Civil Judge (Senior Division)/Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Court No.2, Badaun on the compromise application dated 6.8.2024, entered between the parties which has been appended along with the supplementary affidavit dated 05.09.2024 available at page no. 15 as Annexure no. SA-3. 4. The parties have amicably settled their dispute and fact of compromise has been confirmed and admitted by learned counsel for opposite parties and it has been jointly 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. 5.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. 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. In view of the aforementioned facts and circumstances, the entire proceeding of summoning order dated 18.11.2015 passed by Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Court No.2, Badaun in Complaint Case no.1750 of 2014 (Dinesh Pal vs. Sanjay and others) under Sections 147, 148, 323, 379, 504 and 506 IPC, Police Station Dataganj, District Badaun is hereby quashed. 8. Accordingly, the present application under Section 482 of the Code stands allowed. 9. The parties may file the copy of this order before the court concerned within two weeks from today.
