Considering the submissions of learned counsel for the parties in light of judgment of 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, 10 SCC 303], Narindra Singh and others vs. State of Punjab, (2014) 6 SCC 466, Parbatbhai Aahir vs. State of Gujarat, (2017) 9 SCC 641 and State of Madhya Pradesh vs. Laxmi Narayan, (2019) 5 SCC 688, Ram Gopal Vs. The State of Madhya Pradesh 14 (SCC) 531 and Madhavrao Jiwaji Rao Scindia & Anr. vs Sambhajirao Chandraojirao Angre 1981 (1) SCC 692. 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 facts and considering that the parties do not wish to pursue the case any further, the dispute is essentially of a private nature and has no wider social impact. Since it has been mutually settled between the parties by way of a compromise, no useful purpose would be served by proceeding with the matter further. 9. For the discussions made above, the present application is allowed and consequently, the entire proceedings of the aforesaid criminal case are hereby quashed. 10. Let a copy of this order be sent to the court concerned for necessary compliance. September 24, 2025 Anjali NA528 No. 26446 of 2025 2 (Ram Manohar Narayan Mishra,J.)
