"58. 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."
5.

The entire proceedings of Criminal Case No. 3905 of 2023, arising out of Case Crime No. 0142 of 2022, under Sections 304A, 337, 338 of IPC, Police Station Obra, District Sonbhadra, is hereby quashed. 7.
