Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that parties have entered into a compromise in the spirit of Lok Adalat. During trial, both the parties filed an application for compounding of the offences under Sections 406 & 498A of IPC in terms of compromise. It is submitted that the trial Court vide order dated 15.11.2025 partly allowed the said application while permitting and attesting the compromise to the extent of offence under Section 406 IPC but refused to compound the offence under Section 498A IPC, as the same is not compoundable. 5. In these circumstances, petitioner has approached this Court by way of this petition to quash the aforesaid criminal proceedings pending before the trial Court on the ground that the parties have resolved their dispute amicably. 6. Learned State counsel and learned counsel for the complainant do not dispute the factum of compromise. 7.

Joshi Vs.

State of Punjab & Anr-reported in 2012 Cr.L.J. (SC) 4934 and in the case of State of Haryana & Ors. Vs. Choudhary Bhajan Lal & Ors. [AIR 1992 SC 604], the impugned criminal proceedings arising out of aforesaid FIR are liable to be quashed in view of compromise arrived at between the parties although the offence punishable under Section 498A of IPC alleged to be made out in the instant case is not compoundable. 8. In view of the above, this criminal misc. petition is allowed and the criminal proceedings in Case No.225/2012 pending before learned Additional Civil Judge and Judicial Magistrate No.10, Jaipur Metropolitan-II, Jaipur arising out of FIR No.356/2010 registered at Police Station Murlipura, District Jaipur City (South) for offences punishable under Sections 323, 498A and 406 of IPC are quashed and set aside.
