Hon'ble Vikram D. Chauhan,J. 1. Heard learned counsel for the applicants, Sri Abhishek Srivastava, learned counsel for the opposite party no.2 and learned A.G.A. for the State. 2. The present application has been filed by applicants for quashing the impugned charge sheet dated 15.08.2020, summoning order dated 03.04.2021 passed by learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate-I, Gautam Buddha Nagar as well as entire proceedings of Case No.593 of 2021 (State Vs. Faisal and others), arising out of Case Crime No. 313 of 2019, under Sections-498-A, 323, 504, 506 of I.P.C. and Section 3/4 of the D.P. Act, Police Station- Dankaur, District- Gautam Buddha Nagar, pending in the court of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Gautam Buddha Nagar, on the ground of settlement arrived between the parties dated 14.11.2024. 3. Learned counsel for the applicants submitted that the compromise has already been entered between the parties on 14.11.2024 and the same has been verified by the court concerned on 21.7.2025, therefore, the present case be finally decided. 4. Learned counsel for opposite party no.2 has not disputed the facts as stated by learned counsel for the applicants. He further contended that opposite party no.2 does not want to proceed with the criminal case against the applicants and the same may be quashed. 5. Learned AGA does not dispute the fact that parties have entered into settlement which is duly verified by the court concerned. It is further submitted that he would have no objection in case criminal proceedings are put to an end. He further submits that in view of settlement there is virtually no chance of any conviction being recorded in the criminal proceedings. 6. Having examined the matter in its totality, this Court is of the view that the criminal proceedings in the present case had essentially been an outcome of a matrimonial dispute and there are no such over bearing circumstances for which the applicants ought to be prosecuted even after the parties has entered into a settlement. Needless to observe that with the present stand of the parties in terms of their settlement, there is practically no chance of recording conviction, even if the case under the F.I.R. in question is put to trial. In other words, entire exercise of trial would only be an exercise in futility. On the contrary, looking to the nature of dispute and the fact that the disputants have compromised and want to proceed peacefully ahead, it would be in the interest of justice that criminal proceedings in question are quashed. 7. It would be unfair or contrary to the interest of justice to continue with the criminal proceeding or continuation of the criminal proceeding would tantamount to abuse of process of law despite settlement and compromise between the victim and the wrongdoer and to secure the ends of justice, it is appropriate that the criminal case is put to an end. 8. In view of the fact that the parties do not want to pursue the case any further as stated by them and the fact that matter has been mutually settled between the parties in view of the compromise dated 14.11.2024, no useful purpose would be served in proceeding with the matter further. 9. Thus, in view of the well settled principles of law as laid down by the Hon'ble Apex Court in Parbatbhai Aahir Vs. State of Gujarat (2017) 9 SCC 641, Gian Singh Vs. State of Punjab (2012) 10 SCC 303 and State of M.P. Vs. Laxmi Narayan, (2019) 5 SCC 688, the proceedings of the aforesaid case is hereby quashed. 10. The present application under Section 528 BNSS is, accordingly, allowed. Order Date :- 21.8.2025 D. Tamang Digitally signed by :- DHIRENDRA TAMANG High Court of Judicature at Allahabad
