A three-Judge Bench of the Supreme Court in Gian Singh v. State of Versus Counsel for Applicant(s) : Rajesh Kumar Singh Counsel for Opposite Party(s) : Dhananjay Kumar, G.A., Vishal Kumar Singh Bhanu Prakash And 2 Others .....Applicant(s) State of U.P. and Another .....Opposite Party(s) Punjab & another, (2012) 10 SCC 303, has observed in para 58 of the 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. 7. 7. 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. 8. In the case of H.N. Pandakumar Vs. State of Karnataka [2025 INSC 37], Hon'ble the Apex Court has also observed that if the offence is non- compoundable which is having no serious impact on society then there would be no harm and error if the proceedings may be quashed in light of the compromise entered into between the parties. 9. Keeping in mind the position of law and facts, circumstances of the case, the entire proceedings of Case No.7748 of 2026 (State vs. Bhanu Prakash and Others) arising out of Case Crime No.645 of 2025, under sections 420, 406, 120B, 504, 506 IPC, P.S.
