Judgment
Short counter affidavit along with vakalatnama filed by Tauseef Ali Ansari, learned counsel on behalf of the opposite party nos. 2 to 4. Heard learned counsel for the applicants, Sri Tauseef Ali Ansari, learned counsel for opposite party nos.2 to 4, learned A.G.A. for the State and perused the record. The instant application under Section 482 Cr.P.C. has been filed for quashing the impugned charge sheet dated 27.10.2023, summoning order dated 03.02.2024 as well as entire proceeding of the Case No.185 of 2025 (State of U.P. Vs. Ranjeet Kumar @ another) arising out of Case Crime No.454 of 2023, under Sections 308, 323, 452, 504, 506 I.P.C. P.S. Purakalandar, District Ayodhya, pending before the court of Additional Session Judge, Court No.1, Ayodhya. Learned counsel appearing for the applicants submits that the applicants are innocent and they have falsely been implicated in the instant case. He next added that under some misunderstanding, the instant F.I.R. has been lodged against the applicants and thereafter, the parties have amicably compromised their dispute.
The compromise deed has been reduced in writing on 13.7.2025, which has been annexed as annexure no.8 to the instant application. He next added that now there is no grievance in between the parties with each other and the criminal proceedings against the applicants are the futile exercise as there is no fate of trial and that is amount to harassment of the applicants and thus, the criminal proceedings against the applicants may be quashed. On the other hand, learned counsel appearing for the opposite parties has supported the version of the learned counsel for the applicants and submits that the parties have settled their dispute amicably through a compromise deed and there is no further grievance of the opposite parties against the present applicants and the criminal proceedings against the applicants may be dropped. Learned A.G.A. appearing for the State has no objection to the contentions aforesaid.
Operative part
Now whether the parties have, in fact, compromised the matter or not, can best be ascertained by the court below as such compromise has to be duly verified in presence of the parties concerned before the Court. Accordingly, this application is disposed of with a direction to the court concerned that if any such compromise is filed before it, it shall issue notices to all the signatories to the compromise requiring their personal presence and, thereafter, proceed to verify the compromise. If the aforesaid compromise is verified, a report to that effect shall be prepared by the court and the compromise will be made part of the record. The court in that scenario will allow the parties to obtain certified copy of the report as well as compromise and it will be open to the applicants to approach this Court again for quashing of the proceedings. For a period of three months, the proceedings initiated in pursuance of the Case No.185 of 2025 (State of U.P. Vs.
Ranjeet Kumar @ another) arising out of Case Crime No.454 of 2023, under Sections 308, 323, 452, 504, 506 I.P.C. P.S. Purakalandar, District Ayodhya, shall remain stayed so far as it relates to the applicants. Office is directed to return the original compromise deed to the learned counsel for the applicants, if any, after taking the photocopy of the same. Order Date :- 5.8.2025 Ram Murti
