the aforesaid compromise. Inasmuch as the charge under Section 326 IPC is not made out, as the allegation is that the assault was committed by the accused using fists and kicks, due to which one tooth of the informant was broken.

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. 8. In view of the aforesaid and the fact that parties do not want to pursue the case any further, the matter is purely of private nature, which has been mutually settled between the parties by way of the compromise, therefore, no useful purpose would be NA528 No. 22267 of 2025 2

For the discussions made above, the present application is allowed and impugned order dated 28.01.2025 passed by Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Court No.1, Mathura in Case No. 460 of 2019 (New Number) (State Vs.
