Gouttam, Advocate For Respondent(s) : Mr. Jaiprakash Tiwari, Public Prosecutor Mr. Ashish Chouhan, Advocate HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE VINOD KUMAR BHARWANI Order 02/02/2026 Instant petition under Section 528 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 has been preferred on behalf of the accused- petitioners with the prayer for quashing the criminal proceedings pending before the Court of Metropolitan Magistrate No.15, Jaipur Metropolitan-II, in Criminal Case No.1/2019 arising out of F.I.R. No.446/2019 registered at Police Station Vaishali Nagar, Jaipur (West) for offences punishable under Sections 420, 406, 467, 468, 471 & 120- B of I.P.C. in terms of compromise. [2026:RJ-JP:4842] (2 of 3) [CRLMP-1367/2025] Today, both parties are present-in-person before this Court. They have duly been identified by their Counsel, and their signatures have been obtained on the Court's order-sheet. In the present case, during the trial, the accused-petitioners and the complainant-respondents entered into a compromise and the dispute between them was amicably settled. The parties moved a compromise application through their Advocates before the ld. trial Court, seeking verification of compromise in respect of offences punishable under Sections 420, 406, 467, 468, 471 & 120-B of I.P.C. The trial Court, vide its order dated 13.01.2025, while partly allowing the application, verified the compromise and acquitted the accused- petitioners of offences punishable under Sections 420, 320 & 406 of I.P.C. but kept the trial pending for the remaining offences as those offences are non-compoundable. Learned counsel appearing for the accused-petitioners submitted that since the complainant-respondents and the petitioners have already entered into a compromise and on that basis, the petitioners have been acquitted of the offences punishable under Section 420, 320 & 406 of I.P.C., there is no possibility of conviction of the petitioners for the remaining alleged offences. It is also argued that as the compromise has been arrived at between the parties by way of mutual consent, no useful purpose would be served by continuing the trial against the petitioners for the remaining alleged offences, and that continuation of such proceedings may disturb the compromise reached between them. Learned Public Prosecutor for the State opposed the submissions made by the learned counsel appearing for the accused- petitioners. However, learned counsel appearing for the complainant/ respondents raised no objection, if the proceedings qua the remaining [2026:RJ-JP:4842] (3 of 3) [CRLMP-1367/2025] alleged offences are dropped against the petitioners, as the parties have already entered into a compromise. Having considered the overall facts and circumstances of the case, and considering that a compromise has been arrived at between the petitioners & the respondents, this Court finds that there is no possibility of the petitioners being convicted in the cases pending against them before the Court concerned. Further, once the disputes have been settled by way of mutual compromise, no useful purpose would be served in keeping the criminal proceedings pending. In view of the observations made by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of Gian Singh Vs. State of Punjab & Another, JT 2012 (9) S.C. 426, this Court is of the opinion that this is a fit case in which the criminal proceedings pending against the petitioners deserves to be quashed while exercising powers under Section 528 of B.N.S.S. 2023. Accordingly, instant petition is allowed in terms of the compromise. The criminal proceedings pending before the Court of Metropolitan Magistrate No.15, Jaipur Metropolitan-II, in Criminal Case No.1/2019 arising out of F.I.R. No.446/2019 registered at Police Station Vaishali Nagar, Jaipur (West) are, hereby, quashed, qua the present petitioners in terms of the compromise. Pending application, if any, also stands disposed of. (VINOD KUMAR BHARWANI),J ASHOK
