"WHEREFORE, it is most respectfully prayed that this Hon'ble Court may kindly be pleased to quash the entire proceedings arising out of impugned Charge sheet bearing No.23/2007 dated 28.05.2007 filed in S.T. No.1047/2008 (State Vs. Puttan Singh & others) Case Crime No.82/2007, Under Section-307, 323 & 504 I.P.C. & Section 3 (1) (X) S.C./S.T. Act, Police Station-Mall, District-Lucknow and summoning order dated 04.07.2007 passed by learned Additional Civil JudgeVIII, (J.D.), Lucknow, as contained in Annexure No. 1 & 2 to this Application and further proceedings arising out from the same."
Learned counsel for the applicant(s) submitted that both the parties have amicably settled their dispute outside the Court and have entered into a compromise and a copy of compromise deed, duly signed by the parties, is annexed as Annexure No. 10 to the present application. As such, keeping in view the settlement arrived at between the parties and the law laid down by the Hon'ble Apex Court in this regard, the proceedings impugned are liable to be quashed.
