Order 12/05/2026
1. An Application No.1/2026 has been filed by the applicant/petitioner for taking the compromise that has been arrived at between the parties on record as Annexure-MA/1.
2. For the reason mentioned in the aforementioned Application No.1/2026, the same is allowed and the compromise arrived at between the parties is taken on record.
3. The present criminal miscellaneous petition has been filed by the petitioner under Section 528 of BNSS, 2023 seeking quashing of FIR No.0329/2025 dated 05.07.2025 registered at Police Station New Mandi Hindaun, Karauli, for the alleged offences
[2026:RJ-JP:20095] (2 of 4) [CRLMP-4950/2025] punishable under Sections 318(4), 316(2), 338, 336(3) and 340(2) of BNS, 2023 and all consequential proceedings arising therefrom.
4.
Learned counsel for the petitioner, at the very outset, submit that the FIR in question arises out of a dispute between the parties and as the parties have arrived at a compromise dated 15.02.2026, a copy of which is available on record as Annexure- MA/1, the FIR in question deserves to be quashed in view of the judgments passed by the Hon’ble Supreme Court in Gian Singh Vs. State of Punjab & Anr., reported in (2012) 10 SCC 303, Narinder Singh & Ors. Vs. State of Punjab & Anr., reported in (2014) 6 SCC 466 and State of Madhya Pradesh Vs. Laxmi Narayan & Ors., reported in (2019) 5 SCC 688.
5.
Learned counsel appearing for respondent No.2- complainant while acknowledging the factum of compromise between the parties submits that the respondent No.2 - complainant has willingly arrived at the said compromise and has no objection if the FIR in question is quashed. 6. Learned Public Prosecutor has handed over the factual report submitted by the concerned Investigating Officer, wherein the factum of compromise being entered into between the parties has been confirmed and thus, he submits that in view of the compromise entered into between the parties, appropriate order be passed. 7. Heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the record. 8. In pursuance to the order dated 30.04.2026 passed by this Court, the Investigating Officer was directed to submit the status
[2026:RJ-JP:20095] (3 of 4) [CRLMP-4950/2025] report with respect to the compromise entered into between the parties. Factual report in that regard has been received and is taken on record, wherein the Investigating Officer has confirmed the factum of compromise being entered into between the parties. 9. From the material on record, it is apparent that the dispute has amicably been settled between the parties. The Hon’ble Supreme Court in Gian Singh (supra), has authoritatively held that the High Court in exercise of its inherent powers under Section 482 Cr.P.C. can quash criminal proceedings even in respect of non-compoundable offences if the dispute is essentially of a private and personal nature and the parties have amicably settled the matter, provided that such offences do not have a serious impact on society. The above mentioned position of law has been reiterated and has been consistently held in currency by the Hon’ble Supreme Court and Co-ordinate Benches of this Court. 10. In light of the above, this Court finds that the dispute has been amicably resolved. The complainant has no subsisting grievance against the petitioners and hence, as there is remote possibility of conviction, allowing such criminal proceedings to continue would be nothing but an abuse of the process of law and thus, it would be in the interest of justice to exercise the inherent powers as vested upon this Court under Section 528 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023. 11. Resultantly, this criminal miscellaneous petition is allowed and the FIR No.0329/2025 dated 05.07.2025 registered at Police Station New Mandi Hindaun, Karauli, along with all consequential proceedings arising therefrom, are hereby quashed and set aside.
