It has been argued by the learned counsel for the applicants that essentially the dispute relates to payment of money and now both the parties have amicably settled the dispute and they have arrived at compromise. The copy of compromise has been annexed in short counter affidavit. In pursuance to said compromise, the due amount of informant has been returned to him. It was submitted 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. 5. Learned counsel for the opposite party no.2 has concurred with the arguments of learned counsel for the applicants and submitted that all the due amount of informant has been returned back by the applicants and both the parties have amicably settled the dispute and compromised the matter. The informant does not want to pursue the impugned proceedings and thus, the impugned proceedings may be quashed on the basis of compromise arrived at between the parties. 6. Learned A.G.A. has no objection if parties compromise the matter. 7. I have considered the submissions and perused the record. 8. It is well settled that in appropriate cases criminal proceedings may be quashed on the basis of compromise by invoking inherent powers enshrined under Section 528 BNSS. In the instant case, the allegation against applicants was that they have taken an amount of Rs.5,50,000/- from informant on pretext of providing a job. The first information report was lodged by moving an application under Section 156(3) Cr.P.C.

The short counter affidavit of opposite party no.2 / informant is on record, wherein it has been reiterated that parties have compromised the matter and case may be decided accordingly. In view of these facts and circumstances, it would be in the interest of justice that the impugned proceedings be quashed on the basis of compromise. 9.
