11.09.2025 (Annexure 5) to the application.

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 concerned.

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 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.

Office is directed to communicate this order to trial court forthwith. October 15, 2025 Muk (Brij Raj Singh,J.) MOHD UMAR KHAN High Court of Judicature at Allahabad, Lucknow Bench
