Judgment
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 have 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 Additional Sessions Judge-Vth, Lucknow vide order dated
27.03.2025 in compliance of the order dated 11.03.2025 passed by this Court in an Application U/s 482 No.2277/2025.
I have considered the submissions of learned counsel for the parties.
Considering the ratio laid down by the Supreme Court in the cases of B. S. 2 A482 No. 3905 of 2025 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.
Operative part
In view of the fact that the parties have settled their dispute outside the Court by way of compromise arrived at between the parties and law laid down by the Supreme Court of India, the instant application is allowed and the entire criminal proceedings of Sessions Trial No.304/2016 (State Vs. Munna Singh and others), arising out of Case Crime No.0524/2014, under Sections 323, 325, 308 and 504 IPC lodged at Police Station Gomti Nagar, District Lucknow, including the summoning order dated 05.09.2014 and the charge-sheet no.152/2014 dated 14.08.2014, are hereby quashed.
