1. Heard learned counsel for the applicant, learned A.G.A. for the State and perused the record. 2. This application u/s 482 Cr.P.C. has been preferred for quashing of the entire proceedings, including summoning order dated 22.10.2011, of Complaint Case No. 1158 of 2011, under Sections - 323, 392, 452, 427, 506 I.P.C., Police Station - Swar, District - Rampur, pending in the court of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Rampur, on the basis of compromise arrived at between the parties. 3. It is submitted by learned counsel for applicant that applicant and complainant are real brothers and the alleged dispute between the parties has taken place due to misconception. Now both the parties have amicably settled the dispute and the complainant does not want to pursue the impugned proceedings. In the alleged incident, no one has sustained any injury and that alleged incident took place at the spur of moment. The compromise filed by the parties before the trial court concerned, has already been verified by the court concerned, copy of which is on record. It was stated that in view of these facts and circumstances, no useful purpose would be served by keeping the impugned proceedings pending and thus, the impugned proceedings may be quashed on the basis of compromise arrived at between the parties. 4. Learned A.G.A. has no objection if parties compromise the matter. 5. I have considered the submissions and perused the record. 6. It is well settled that in appropriate cases criminal proceedings may be quashed on the basis of compromise. In the instant case, matter relates to private dispute between the parties. If parties compromise the matter, it would not have adverse impact on society. The compromise filed by the parties before the trial court, has already been verified by the court concerned. Considering the law laid down in the case of State of Madhya Pradesh Vs. Laxmi Narayan and others, AIR 2019 SC 1296 and the facts of the matter, it would be in the interest of justice that the impugned proceedings be quashed. 7.
In view of the aforesaid, the impugned summoning order and entire proceedings of the aforesaid complaint case against applicant - Harikesh are hereby quashed. 8. The application u/s 482 Cr.P.C. is allowed. Order Date :- 10.2.2025 S Rawat Digitally signed by :- SHOBHIT RAWAT High Court of Judicature at Allahabad
