For Respondent(s) For Complainant : : Mr. Manvendra Singh, PP Mr. C.M. Verma, Adv. HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE PRAVEER BHATNAGAR Order 08/05/2025 1. The present petition has been preferred under Section 528 BNSS for quashing the FIR No.324/2024, registered at Police Station Atalbandh, District Bharatpur for offences under Sections 126(2), 127(2), 309(4) and 352 of BNS and s 3(1)(r) and 3(1)(s) and 3(2)(va) of SC/ST Act, on the basis of compromise entered between the parties. 2. It is contended that the complainant-respondent No.2 Narendra Singh have entered into compromise with the petitioners and complainant- Narendra Singh has submitted his affidavit containing the fact that he has compromised with the petitioners [2025:RJ-JP:19488] (2 of 3) [CRLMP-1180/2025] and it bears his signatures, therefore, in view of the compromise entered between the parties, the FIR registered against the petitioners and subsequent proceedings drawn in pursuance to the FIR may be quashed. 3. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the complainant i.e., respondent No.2 concedes that the parties have arrived at amicable settlement. The complainant Narendra Singh is present before the Court and also stated that he and the petitioners have arrived at compromise and if the proceedings against the petitioners may be quashed then he has no objection. 4. Heard and considered. 5. The Hon’ble Apex Court in the case of Ramawatar v. State of Madhya Pradesh, 2021 SCC OnLine SC 966, held that for quashing of FIR on account of compromise in cases pertaining to SC/ST Act: - “16. On the other hand, where it appears to the Court that the offence in question, although covered under the SC/ST Act, is primarily private or civil in nature, or where the alleged offence has not been committed on account of the caste of the victim, or where the continuation of the legal proceedings would be an abuse of the process of law, the Court can exercise its powers to quash the proceedings. On similar lines, when considering a prayer for quashing on the basis of a compromise/ settlement, if the Court is satisfied that the underlying objective of the Act would not be contravened or diminished even if the felony in question goes unpunished, the mere fact that the offence is covered under a ‘special statute’ would not refrain this Court or the High Court, from exercising their respective powers under Article 142 of the Constitution or Section 482 Cr.P.C.” 6. In the view of the aforesaid legal position, considering that compromise has been entered between the parties and that the lis [2025:RJ-JP:19488] (3 of 3) [CRLMP-1180/2025] between the parties is private in nature, therefore, I deem it just and proper to allow the present petition. 7. Considering the aforementioned, the present criminal miscellaneous petition is allowed on the ground of compromise entered between the parties and the FIR No.324/2024, registered at Police Station Atalbandh, District Bharatpur with all consequential proceedings, are hereby quashed and set aside. 8. Accordingly, the instant petition is allowed. Pending application(s), if any, stand disposed of. (PRAVEER BHATNAGAR),J Ashwani Kr Srivastava /-186
