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 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 Versus Counsel for Applicant(s) : Anuj Kumar Gupta Counsel for Opposite Party(s) : G.A. Reshamwati Alias Resham .....Applicant(s) State of U.P. and Another .....Opposite Party(s)
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.
