Jawahar Lal Yadav & Others" pending in the court of Ld. Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Room No.30, Lucknow in connection with F.I.R. No. 181A/2015, under Sections 147, 148, 149, 323, 504, 506, 307, 427, 336 I.P.C, Police Station-Kakori, District Lucknow alongwith summoning order dated 11.02.2016 passed upon the chargesheet by the Ld. Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Room No.30, Lucknow and chargesheet dated 13.06.2015 as contained as Annexure No.1 & 2 to this petition.

In pursuance of the aforesaid order, learned trial court had verified the contents of compromise.

¶15

A482 No. 3652 of 2025

¶16

¶17

between the parties and the same has duly been verified by the trial court.

¶18

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.

¶19

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.

¶20

For the discussions made above, the present application is allowed and proceedings in connection with F.I.R. No. 181A/2015, under Sections 147, 148, 149, 323, 504, 506, 307, 427, 336 I.P.C, Police Station-Kakori, District Lucknow are hereby quashed .

¶21

Office is directed to communicate this order to learned trial Court, forthwith.
