Neutral Citation No. - 2025:AHC:144289 Court No. - 76 Case :- APPLICATION U/S 528 BNSS No. - 19030 of 2025 Applicant :- Tauhid Opposite Party :- State of U.P. and Another Counsel for Applicant :- Maohammd Nadeem Counsel for Opposite Party :- Mohammad Sabauddin Ansari,G.A. Hon'ble Vikram D. Chauhan,J. 1. Heard learned counsel for the applicant, Sri Ghanshaym Das, Advocate holding brief of Sri Sabauddin Ansari, learned counsel for the opposite party no.2 and learned A.G.A. for the State. 2. The present application has been filed by applicant for quashing the charge sheet dated 27.6.2022 and entire proceeding of Case No.1560 of 2022 (State of U.P Vs. Tauhid), under Sections 498-A, 323, 504 IPC and Section 3/4 D.P. Act, 1961 arising out of Case Crime No.141 of 2022 pending in the court of Civil Judge (J.D)/FTC 2nd, Kannauj. 3. Learned counsel for the applicants submitted that the compromise has already been entered between the parties on 11.4.2025 and the same has been verified by the court concerned as per the report dated 17.7.2025 submitted by Civil Judge (J.D.)/FTC-II, District Kannauj, 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 11.4.2025, 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
