Bhura @ Satyapal and 2 Others v. State of U.P. and Another
Case brief
What is this about?
The High Court allowed an application under Section 482 CrPC to quash criminal proceedings pending against the applicant. The court relied on coordinate bench judgment and Supreme Court precedents to hold that proceedings under the SC/ST Act can be quashed if parties have entered into compromise at the appellate stage.
What did the court decide?
The application under Section 482 CrPC was allowed and the criminal proceedings (S.T. No.340 of 2011) under Sections 323, 504, 506, 427 IPC and 3(1)X SC/ST Act were quashed.
