This revisional application has been filed seeking quashing of proceedings being G.R. Case No.5231 of 2020 pending before the learned Judicial Magistrate, 1st Court, Howrah, arising out of Malipanchghora Police Station Case No.184 of 2020 dated 17.11.2020 under Sections
2 341/323/325/427/506/34 of the Indian Penal Code,
1860. It has been submitted by the learned advocate appearing for the petitioners that the matter relates to a long standing civil dispute regarding the ancestral properties between the family members of the petitioners and the opposite party no.2 situated at Sriram Dhang Road, Salkia, Howrah. It appears that the disputes between the parties have since been amicably resolved. In this regard, the parties have jointly filed a petition of compromise before this Court, being CRAN 1 of 2026. Upon consideration of the materials on record, this Court is of the view that the dispute between the parties is essentially private in nature and that a valid compromise has already been arrived at between them. In such circumstances, the continuation of the criminal proceedings would amount to an abuse of the process of law. Having regard to the principles laid down by the Hon'ble Supreme Court reported at (2012) 10 SCC 303 (Gian Singh v. State of Punjab), this Court is inclined to exercise its inherent jurisdiction to quash the present proceedings in the interest of justice. Accordingly, G.R. Case No.5231 of 2020 pending before the learned Judicial Magistrate, 1st Court, Howrah arising out of Malipanchghora Police Station Case No.184
3 of 2020 dated 17.11.2020 under Sections 341/323/325/427/506/34 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860, stands quashed in terms of the compromise recorded in CRAN 1 of 2026. Consequently, C.R.R. 3349 of 2026 along with CRAN 1 of 2026, stands disposed of. Urgent certified website copies of this order, if applied for, be made available to the parties upon compliance with the requisite formalities.
