1. Heard learned counsel for the applicant, learned counsel for respondent nos. 2 to 4, learned A.G.A. for the State of U.P. and perused the record. 2. This application under Section 528 BNSS has been filed for quashing the entire criminal proceedings of Case No. 5062 of 2018 (168 of 2019) arising out of Case Crime No. 10 of 2018, under Sections 452, 323, 506 IPC, Police Station Dakor, District Jalaun, pending before Civil Judge (S.D.)/ FTC, Orai at Jalaun and charge-sheet dated 4.3.2018 in the light of compromise dated 29.4.2025. 3. Learned counsel for the applicant submitted that vide order dated 27.5.2025 a direction was given to the court below to verify the factum of compromise executed by the parties. In pursuance of the aforesaid order, learned court below had verified the contents of compromise. 4. Learned counsel for the applicant and learned counsel for respondent nos. 2 to 4 jointly submitted that the parties have entered into compromise, which has duly been verified by the court below vide report dated 11.7.2025. 5. Learned A.G.A. has fairly conceded that compromise has been effected between the parties and the same has duly been verified by the court below. 6. Hon'ble Apex Court in catena of decisions has held that inherent power Versus Counsel for Applicant(s) : Lakshman Singh Counsel for Opposite Party(s) : Kamal Singh, G.A. Krishna Kumar @ Monu And Another .....Applicant(s) State Of U.P. And 3 Others .....Opposite Party(s)
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 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 consequently, entire criminal proceedings of the aforesaid case are hereby quashed.
