Counsel submits that now, the complainant does not want to prosecute the accused persons and she submitted a compromise application before the Trial Court for attestation of the compromise arrived at between the parties way back in the year 2018 but till date, the aforesaid application has not been decided, hence, in the interest of justice and in the interest of both the parties, the proceedings arising out of the impugned FIR be quashed. 3. Per contra, learned Public Prosecutor oppose the arguments raised by counsel for the petitioner. 4. Heard and considered the submissions made at Bar and perused the material available on record. 5. Perusal of the record indicates that a charge-sheet has been submitted against the accused persons for the offences under Sections 498A, 406 and 120B IPC at the instance of the complaint submitted by the complainant-petitioner which resulted in the registration of the impugned FIR and since now she does not want to prosecute the accused persons that is why she submitted an application in this regard before the Trial Court.

State of Punjab reported in 2012 (10) SCC 303 and The State of Madhya Pradesh vs. Laxmi Narayan reported in 2019 (5) SCC 688, this Court deems it just and proper to invoke inherent powers contained under Section 528 BNSS. 5.
