Ankit Kumar And 2 Others .....Applicant(s) State of U.P. and Another .....Opposite Party(s) 6. Hon'ble Apex Court in catena of decisions has held that inherent power can be used to do real and substantial justice as has been held in Gian Singh Vs State of Punjab, 2012 AIR SCW 5333, B.S. Joshi and others Vs State of Haryana, (2003) 3 SCC 675 and Narinder Singh Vs State of Punjab, (2014) 6 SCC 466. Hence, inherent power can be exercised to speed up the process of ending the criminal proceedings where the settlement is arrived at between the parties. 7. In view of the aforesaid and the fact that parties do not want to pursue the case any further, the matter is purely of personal nature, which has been mutually settled between the parties by way of the compromise, therefore, no useful purpose would be served in proceeding with the matter further. 8. For the discussions made above, the present application is allowed and entire proceedings of Criminal Case No.2032 of 2018 (State vs. Ankit Kumar and others), arising out Case Crime No.112 of 2017, under Sections 323, 324, 504 and 506 I.P.C., Police Station Mandawali, District Bijnor as well as charge-sheet No.74 of 2017 dated 30.06.2017 and summoning order dated 04.09.2018 are hereby quashed.
