Learned counsel for the opposite party no. 2 has concurred with the arguments of learned counsel for the applicants and submitted that both the parties have amicably settled the dispute and compromised the matter and the informant and the injured do not want to proceed with the case pending before the trial court and thus, the impugned proceedings may be quashed. 5.

It is well settled that in appropriate cases criminal proceedings may be quashed on the basis of compromise by invoking inherent powers enshrined under Section 528 BNSS. In the instant case, the dispute between the parties is civil in nature. If parties compromise the matter, it would not have adverse impact on society. The informant of the case and the injured do not want to pursue the impugned proceedings. There is nothing to indicate that applicants have any criminal antecedents. The compromise filed by the parties before the trial court, has already been verified by the court concerned. In view of these facts and circumstances, it would be in the interest of justice that the impugned proceedings be quashed. 8. In view of the aforesaid, the entire impugned proceedings, including charge-sheet & cognizance / summoning order, of the aforesaid case, against applicants, namely, Kaleem Ahmad, Faheem Ahmad, Saheem Ahmad, Suhel Ahmad, Saif, Ajeem and Khursheed Ahmad are hereby quashed. 9.
