[2025:RJ-JP:5628] HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN BENCH AT JAIPUR S.B. Criminal Miscellaneous (Petition) No. 427/2025 Tarsem Kumar S/o Shri Maruram, Aged About 40 Years, R/o Raniwala , Tehsil- Malout, Distt. Mukatsar ( Punjab). ----Accused-Petitioner Versus 1. State of Rajasthan, Through Public Prosecutor 2. Late Shyam Singh S/o Durjan Singh Rajput, R/o House No. 294, Chhipiwada, P.s. Bachhapuri, Jaipur (Raj). 3. Smt. Saroj Kanwar W/o Late Mangal Singh, Aged About 55 Years, R/o 93, Jeenmata Nagar, Shekhawat Marg, Harnathpura, Kalwar Road, Jaipur (Raj). ----Respondents For Petitioner(s) : Mr. Prince Pal Singh, Advocate For Respondent(s) : Mr. Allan Massey, Advocate Mr. M.S. Shekhawat, Public Prosecutor HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE VINOD KUMAR BHARWANI Order 07/02/2025 : Instant petition under Section 528 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 has been preferred on behalf of the accused- petitioner with the prayer for quashing the criminal proceedings pending against him in the Court of Additional Civil Judge & Judicial Magistrate No.7, Jaipur Metropolitan-I, (for short ‘the trial Court’) in connection with Criminal Case No.18304/2014 arising out of F.I.R. No.166/2013 registered at Police Station, Jaipur City (South) for offences punishable under Sections 279 & 304-A of I.P.C., in terms of compromise. In the present case, during trial, the accused-petitioner and the respondent No.3 have entered into a compromise dt.06.01.2025 and the dispute between them have been settled amicably. The parties moved a compromise application before the trial Court for attesting the compromise for offences under Sections 279 & 304-A of I.P.C. The trial [2025:RJ-JP:5628] (2 of 3) [CRLMP-427/2025] Court, vide its order dated 06.01.2025 has refused to attest the compromise for the aforesaid offences as the same are non- compoundable. The respondent has also filed an application to withdraw all the allegations against the petitioner on the basis of compromise. Learned counsel appearing for the accused-petitioner has argued that the respondents & the petitioner have already entered into a compromise. It is further argued that since the compromise has been arrived at between the parties by way of mutual consent, no useful purpose would be served in continuing the trial against the petitioner for the alleged offences as the same may derail the compromise arrived at between them. Learned Public Prosecutor for the State has opposed the submissions made herein-above, whereas learned counsel appearing for the respondents has no objection, if the proceedings for the alleged offences are dropped against the petitioner, as the parties have already entered into a compromise. Having considered the overall facts & circumstances of the case & looking to the fact that since the compromise has been arrived at between the petitioner & the respondent, there is no possibility of the petitioner being convicted in the case pending against him before the Court concerned and no useful purpose would be served in keeping the criminal proceedings pending. Keeping in view the observations made by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of Gian Singh Vs. State of Punjab & Another, JT 2012 (9) S.C. 426, this Court is of the opinion that it is a fit case, wherein the criminal proceedings pending against the petitioner [2025:RJ-JP:5628] (3 of 3) [CRLMP-427/2025] can be quashed while exercising powers under Section 528 of B.N.S.S. 2023. Accordingly, instant petition is allowed. The F.I.R. No.166/2013 registered at Police Station, Jaipur City (South) for offences under Sections 279 & 304-A of I.P.C., alongwith all subsequent criminal proceedings pending before the Court of Additional Civil Judge & Judicial Magistrate No.7, Jaipur Metropolitan-I, in Criminal Case No.18304/2014, is, hereby, quashed. Pending application, if any, also stands disposed of. (VINOD KUMAR BHARWANI),J. ASHOK/
