Order 02/05/2025 Instant petition has been filed under Section 528 of BNSS for quashing the FIR No. 583/2024 registered with police station Gudha, District Jhunjhunu for the offences under Sections 189(2), 115(2), 126(2), 125 and 351(3) of BNS.
[2025:RJ-JP:18555] (2 of 3) [CRLMP-2568/2025] It is contended by learned counsel for the petitioners that an FIR was lodged against the petitioners by respondent No. 2 Kamlesh Devi alleging offences under Sections 189 (2), 115(2), 126(2), 125, 351(3) of BNS. The police after investigation submitted the charge-sheet against the petitioner Nos. 1 and 2 for the offences under Sections 115(2), 126(2), 125, 351(3), 110, 3(5) and 117(2) of BNS, and the investigation was kept pending under Section 193(9) of BNSS against the petitioner No. 3. It is contended by learned counsel for the petitioners that the offences under Sections 115(2), 126(2) and 117(2) are compoundable offences. The injuries sustained to injured Sahiram in CT scan report was found to be without any trauma and intracranial, though the concerned Doctor has opined the injury is grievous but Sahiram did not receive any grievous injury at his head. It is contended that petitioners and complainant Kamlesh Devi, injured Sahiram and Radhuveer Singh have entered into compromise and amicably settled their dispute with the petitioners. The complainant and injured have submitted their affidavit containing the fact that they have entered into compromise with the petitioners. The complainant Kamlesh Devi, injured Sahiram and Raghuveer are present in person before this court and admitted that they have entered into compromise with the petitioners.
Learned counsel for the complainant and injured concedes that compromise have been arrived at between the parties and they do not want to proceed with the criminal proceedings against the petitioners, therefore, if the entire criminal proceedings
[2025:RJ-JP:18555] (3 of 3) [CRLMP-2568/2025] initiated against the petitioners may be quashed then they have no objection. Heard and perused the material available on the record. Prima facie the dispute arose between the parties seems to be private litigation, the offences under Sections 115(2), 126(2) and 117(2) of BNS are compoundable offences. The injuries sustained to injured Sahiram were not opined to be dangerous to life, therefore the offence under Section 110 of BNS is prima facie not made out against the petitioner. Considering the nature of litigation and in view of the
judgment passed by Hon’ble Apex court in the case of Gian Singh Vs. State of Punjab (2012)10 SCC 303, this court deems it appropriate to quash the FIR No. 583/2024 registered with police station Gudha, District Jhunjhunu and all subsequent criminal proceedings arising out of the aforesaid FIR. Accordingly, the instant criminal misc. petition stands
disposed of. Pending application, if any, also stands disposed of.
