Judgment
Vakalatnama filed by Sri Jitendra Kumar Maurya, Advocate on behalf of the opposite party No.2 is taken on record.
Heard learned counsel for the applicants, learned A.G.A. for the State of U.P., learned counsel for the opposite party no. 2 and perused the record.
This application under Section 528 BNSS has been filed for quashing the entire criminal proceedings of Case No. 1466 of 2008 (State vs. Indra Mohan and others) arising out of Case Crime No. 46A of 2006, under Sections 353, 352, 504, 506 IPC, Police Station Surir, District Mathura, pending before Judicial Magistrate-10th, Mathura in the light of compromise dated 2.8.2023.
Learned counsel for the parties jointly submitted that vide order dated
22.7.2025 a direction was given to the court below to verify the compromise executed by the parties. In pursuance of the aforesaid order, learned court below had verified the contents of compromise.
Learned counsel for the applicant and learned counsel for opposite party no. 2 jointly submitted that the parties have entered into compromise, which has duly been verified by the court below vide report dated 9.9.2025, copy of the verification order and proceedings of the compromise has been placed on record.
Learned A.G.A. has fairly conceded that compromise has been effected between the parties and the same has duly been verified by the court 2 NA528 No. 22004 of 2025 below.
Hon'ble Apex Court in catena of decisions has held that inherent power can be used to do real and substantial justice as has been held in Gian Singh Vs State of Punjab, 2012 AIR SCW 5333, B.S. Joshi and others Vs State of Haryana, (2003) 3 SCC 675 and Narinder Singh Vs State of Punjab, (2014) 6 SCC 466. Hence, inherent power can be exercised to speed up the process of ending the criminal proceedings where the settlement is arrived at between the parties.
In view of the aforesaid and the fact that parties do not want to pursue the case any further, the matter is purely of personal nature, which has been mutually settled between the parties by way of the compromise, therefore, no useful purpose would be served in proceeding with the matter further.
