The parties have amicably settled their dispute and fact of compromise has been confirmed and admitted by learned counsel for opposite parties and jointly submitted that there would be no harm and error and would be in the interest of justice that the proceedings may be quashed in light of the compromise. 5. A three-Judge Bench of the Supreme Court in Gian Singh v. State of Punjab & another, (2012) 10 SCC 303, has observed in para 58 of the Versus Counsel for Applicant(s) : Mohd. Akbar Shah Alam Khan Counsel for Opposite Party(s) : G.A. X Juvenile .....Applicant(s) State of U.P. and Another .....Opposite Party(s) said judgment that where the High Court quashes a criminal proceeding having regard to the fact that the dispute between the offender and the victim has been settled although the offences are not compoundable, it does so as in its opinion, continuation of criminal proceedings will be an exercise in futility and justice in the case demands that the dispute between the parties is put to an end and peace is resorted; securing the ends of justice being the ultimate guiding factor. 6. In the case of Madhavrao Jiwajirao Scindia v. Sambhajirao Chandraojirao Angre, [(1988) 1 SCC 692], Hon'ble the Apex Court has also observed that where matters are also of civil nature i.e. matrimonial, family disputes, etc. the Court may consider "special facts", "special feature" and quash the criminal proceeding to encourage genuine settlement of disputes between the parties. 7. Keeping in mind the position of law and facts, circumstances of the case, charge-sheet dated 01.10.2023, cognizance/summoning order dated 25.01.2024 passed by learned Juvenile Justice Board, Shamli as well as the entire proceedings of Case No.18/9 of 2024 (State Vs. Nikhil son of Sanjeev), arising out of Case Crime No.444 of 2023, U/s 147, 148, 323, 504, 506, 336 IPC, and Section 7 of Crl. Law Amendment Act, P.S.
