JUSTICE RAVI V HOSMANI ORAL ORDER 1. Seeking for quashing of proceedings in Crime no.392/2018 by Ramamurthy Nagar Police Station for offences under Sections 120(B), 448, 406, 420, 506 of IPC presently pending on the file of IV Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Bengaluru as per Annexure A, this petition is filed. 2. Sri V.Sudhakar, learned counsel for petitioners and Sri M.T.Nanaiah, learned Senior counsel appearing on behalf of Sri Prabhugoud B.Tumbigi and Sri Balasubramanya B.N, learned counsel for respondent no.2 submit that they have filed a joint memo stating that respondent no.2/complainant filed O.S.no.1137/2018 pending before Principal Senior Civil Judge, Bengaluru, in respect of property bearing Site no.86A - suit schedule property in plaint. Petitioners herein were defendants in said suit. 3. In impugned complaint, complainant made allegations against petitioners herein about interference with - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:25413 CRL.P No. 2301 of 2019 possession over said property. Thus, dispute arose out of civil proceedings between parties. Though, complaint is registered for offences under Sections 120(B), 448, 406, 420, 506 of IPC, lis was purely inter parties without bearing on society at large and parties have decided to settle their disputes and intend to file a compromise petition in pending suit, therefore prayed that petition may be allowed. 4. Smt.Sowmya.R, learned High Court Government Pleader for respondent no.1 does not oppose submissions or joint memo. 5. On going through material on record and finding that proceedings impugned herein are purely civil in nature and without any societal effect, in view of joint memo of compromise, there would be no impediment for quashing proceedings. Their continuation would be futile and abuse of process. Same would be in tune with ratio laid down by Hon'ble Supreme Court in case of Gian Singh v. State of Punjab & another reported in (2012) 10 SCC 303. - 5 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:25413 CRL.P No. 2301 of 2019 In view of above, joint memo is accepted. Petition is allowed, impugned proceedings are set at naught. Sd/- (RAVI V HOSMANI) JUDGE UN List No.: 1 Sl No.: 26
