JUSTICE ALOK JAIN Present : Mr. Abhishek Jindal, Advocate for the petitioners. (through video conferencing mode) Ms. Aditi Girdhar, AAG, Haryana. Mr. Mithun, Advocate for respondents no.2 & 3. ALOK JAIN, J. (Oral) 1. The present petition is for quashing of the FIR No.175 dated 31.05.2025, under Sections 115(2), 126(2), 324(4), 3(5) of BNS (corresponding Sections 323, 324, 341, 379, 34 of IPC) registered at Police Station Sector-5, Gurugram, Haryana, and all other subsequent proceedings arising therefrom on the basis of compromise dated 24.04.2026 (Annexure P-3). 2. Keeping in view the fact that the parties entered into a compromise, the Coordinate Bench of this Court vide order dated 08.05.2026 directed the parties to appear before the Illaqa Magistrate/trial Court for getting their statements recorded in that regard. However, parties failed to get recorded their statements before the Court concerned in terms of order dated 08.05.2026 and vide order dated 26.05.2026, the Coordinate bench of this Court had directed both the parties to appear before the Court concerned on 03.06.2026 for recording their statements in terms of order DEEPAK PATWAL 2026.07.07 17:03 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document CRM-M-26043-2026 2 dated 08.05.2026, subject to deposit of Rs.10,000/- with Poor Patient Welfare Fund, PGIMER, Chandigarh. In compliance of order dated 26.05.2026, cost of Rs.10,000/- has been deposited vide Reference No.DUP5766001 dated 02.06.2026. Pursuant to orders dated 08.05.2026 and 26.05.2026, a report dated 26.06.2026 has been received from the Judicial Magistrate 1st Class, Gurugram, stating that the compromise arrived at between the parties is voluntary and the same is without any pressure, coercion or undue influence. 3. Learned State counsel and learned counsel appearing on behalf of respondents No.2 & 3 admit the factum of compromise and submit that they have no objection to quashing of the FIR on that basis. 4. Perusal of the aforesaid report establishes that the parties have amicably settled their dispute, and continuance of criminal prosecution in such a situation will be an exercise in futility, as the chances of ultimate conviction are bleak. The power under Section 482 Cr.P.C. can be exercised in such matters. It has been held by Supreme Court of India in cases Gian Singh v. State of Punjab and another 2012(10) SCC 303 and Narinder Singh and others v. State of Punjab and another 2014(6) SCC 406 that criminal cases having overwhelmingly civil character, particularly those arising out of commercial transactions or matrimonial relationships or family disputes, should be quashed when the parties have resolved their disputes among themselves in a bona fide manner. 5. Consequently, this petition is allowed. FIR No.175 dated 31.05.2025, under Sections 115(2), 126(2), 324(4), 3(5) of BNS (corresponding Sections 323, 324, 341, 379, 34 of IPC) registered at Police DEEPAK PATWAL 2026.07.07 17:03 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document CRM-M-26043-2026 3 Station Sector-5, Gurugram, Haryana, and all consequential proceedings arising therefrom, are hereby quashed qua the petitioner(s), subject to the donation of 05 new wheel chairs and 05 new stretcher in the office of CMO, Civil Hospital, Sector-10, Gurugram by the petitioners as well as respondents no.2 and 3 collectively.
