The only prayer is to set aside the summoning order dated 07.06.2023. It is contended that as the parties have arrived at a compromise and settled the matter amicably, therefore, proceedings with the case is nothing but futile. 6. This Court by its order dated 06.05.2026 directed the court concerned to verify the compromise. In compliance of the said order, learned counsel for the appellants has submitted a certified copy of the verified compromise Versus Counsel for Appellant(s) : Ram Shiromani Yadav Counsel for Respondent(s) : G.A., Krishna Kant Yadav Hariom And 3 Others .....Appellant(s) State of U.P. and Another .....Respondent(s) dated 01.07.2026 by way of supplementary affidavit. 7. Learned counsel for the opposite party no.2 submit that he has no objection in case summoning order is set aside in the light of the compromise/settlement between the parties. He further submits that no compensation has been received by opposite party no.2 in this case, which fact can also be ascertained from the order of the court concerned dated 01.07.2026 verifying the compromise. 8. It is admitted and contended by the opposite party no.2 that essentially the dispute is private in nature further that in case proceeding is quashed, the interest of society is not likely to be affected. 9. Learned counsel for the appellants has placed reliance on the judgments of the Apex Court in the case of Romgopal and others Vs. State of Madhya Pradesh, 2022 (1) SCJ 536, Gian Singh Vs. State of Punjab [2012 10 SCC 303], Gold Quest International Ltd. Vs. State of Tamilnadu, 2014 (15) SCC 235, Nikhil Merchant Vs. C.B.I. and another, 2008(9) SCC 677, Union Carbide Corporation and others Vs. Union of India and others (1991) 4 SCC 584 and Supreme Court Bar Association Vs. Union of India (1998) 4 SCC 409. 10. Learned AGA could not dispute the fact that the compromise has been entered into between the parties and now the opposite party no.2 does not want to proceed with the proceedings in issue. 11. Since both the parties to the dispute have arrived at a compromise and no compensation has been received by O.P No.2, as duly verified by the order of the court concerned dated 01.07.2026, in such a situation, the Court has inherent jurisdiction to pass a suitable order as may be necessary the larger interest of the parties. 12. Considering the submissions advanced by learned counsel for the parties and taking note of the observations made by Hon'ble Apex Court in the judgments referred above and the nature of dispute/crime, this Court is of the view that no purpose would be served in keeping the proceedings pending before the trial court and hence, the entire proceedings of Complaint Case No.124 of 2022 (Neetu vs. Hariom and others) under Sections 354, 504, 506 CRLA No. 923 of 2026 2 and 379 IPC and Sections 3(1)(r), 3(1)(s) and 3(2)(va) of the SC/ST Act, P.S.- Hayatnagar, District- Sambhal, are hereby quashed in terms of the compromise. 13.
