This application u/s 482 Cr.P.C. has been preferred for quashing of the entire proceedings of Complaint Case No. 525 of 2021 (Rahul Bharti Vs. Smt. Virma Deviand Others), under Section - 147, 406, 504 I.P.C., Police Station - Cantt, District - Bareilly, pending in the court of Judicial Magistrate-II, Bareilly, on the basis of compromise arrived at between the parties. 4. It is submitted by learned counsel for the applicants that applicant no. 4 is wife of opposite party no. 2/complainant and remaining applicants are family members of applicant no. 4 and the matter relates to matrimonial dispute. Now both the parties have amicably settled the dispute and compromised the matter and the complainant of the case does not want to pursue the impugned proceedings. It was submitted that 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. 5. Learned A.G.A. has no objection if parties compromise the matter. 6. I have considered the submissions and perused the record. 7. 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 matrimonial dispute, which is private in nature. If parties compromise the matter, it would not have adverse impact on society. There is nothing to indicate that parties have any criminal antecedents. 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. 8.

Chandan, Jyoti Singh and Smt. Suraj are hereby quashed. 9. The application u/s 482 Cr.P.C. is allowed.
