MANI KUMAR 2026.07.15 11:38 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document CRM-M-60123-2025 (O&M) -2- 4. Pursuant to the order dated 29.10.2025, the parties appeared before the Judicial Magistrate 1st Class, Panipat, and as per the report dated 12.12.2025 submitted to this Court, both the parties got their respective statements recorded in Court. 5. A perusal of the aforesaid report would show that the parties have effected a genuine compromise without there being any pressure, coercion or undue influence. The powers under Section 482 Cr.P.C./528 of the BNSS can be exercised in such like situations in order to prevent unnecessary vagaries of criminal trial to be faced by the parties, when there are remote chances of conviction of the accused. The compromise in question is found to be fully in consonance with the directions issued by the Court in “Kulwinder Singh & Ors. Vs. State of Punjab 2007(3) RCR (Criminal) 1052” and “Gian Singh Vs. State of Punjab & Anr., 2012(4) RCR (Crl.) 543”. 6. In view of the aforesaid report of the Judicial Magistrate Ist Class, Panipat, accompanied by statements of both the parties, the present petition is allowed and FIR No.0039 dated 25.02.2018 registered under Sections 148, 149, 323 and 506 of IPC at Police Station Panipat Sadar, District Panipat, with all consequential proceedings arising therefrom are hereby quashed qua the petitioners.
