Judgment
on the ground that the parties have arrived at a compromise/settlement.
Learned counsels for the parties submit that the parties have settled their dispute amicably outside the Court and they have arrived at a compromise. The compromise entered into between the parties has been placed on record as Annexure-5 to the application. The parties have confirmed the terms of the compromise. The compromise has been verified between the parties by learned I/c Civil Judge (J.D.) F.T.C. (C.A.W.), Lucknow vide order dated
09.05.2025 in compliance of the order dated 29.04.2025 passed by this Court in the present application.
I have considered the submissions of learned counsel for the parties. 2 A482 No. 3630 of 2025
Considering the ratio laid down by the Supreme Court in the cases of B. S. Joshi and others versus State of Haryana and another :(2003) 4 SCC 675 , Nikhil Merchant versus C.B.I. and another : (2008) 9 SCC 677, Manoj Sharma versus State and others : (2008) 16 SCC 1, Gian Singh versus Station of Punjab: (2010) 15 SCC 118 and Narinder Singh and others versus State of Punjab and another: (2014) 6 SCC 466, it would be appropriate in the facts and circumstances of the case to quash the criminal proceedings as continuance of the proceedings in pursuance of the criminal proceedings would be an exercise in futility.
