Heard learned counsel for applicants and learned AGA.

¶11

The present application has been filed to quash chargesheet dated 13.12.2020 along with cognizance/summoning order dated 30.07.2024 and entire criminal proceedings of Criminal Case No.15683 of 2024 (State Vs. Sandeep Yadav and others), arising out of Case Crime No.648 of 2020, under Sections 386, 323, 354, 354-D, 506 IPC, P.S. Sipari Bazar, District Jhansi, pending in the court of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Jhansi, on the basis of compromise.

¶12

At the very outset, learned counsel for applicant has submitted that compromise has already been preferred and the same has also been verified by learned court concerned on dated 18.10.2025 which has been appended with this petition.

¶13

The parties have amicably settled their dispute and as such, there would be no harm and error if the proceedings may be quashed in light of the compromise.

¶14

A three-Judge Bench of the Supreme Court in Gian Singh v. State of Punjab & another, (2012) 10 SCC 303 , has observed in para 58 of the said judgment that where the High Court quashes a criminal proceeding having regard to the fact that the dispute between the offender and the victim has been settled although the offences are not compoundable, it does so as in its opinion, continuation of criminal proceedings will be an exercise in futility and justice in the case demands that the dispute between the parties is put to an end and peace is resorted; securing the ends of justice being the ultimate guiding factor.

¶17

In the case of Madhavrao Jiwajirao Scindia v. Sambhajirao Chandraojirao Angre, [(1988) 1 SCC 692], Hon'ble the Apex Court has also observed that where matters are also of civil nature i.e. matrimonial, family disputes, etc. the Court may consider "special facts", "special feature" and quash the criminal proceeding to encourage genuine settlement of disputes between the parties.

¶18

Keeping in mind the position of law and facts, circumstances of the case, chargesheet dated 13.12.2020 along with cognizance/summoning order dated 30.07.2024 and entire criminal proceedings of Criminal Case No.15683 of 2024 (State Vs. Sandeep Yadav and others), arising out of Case Crime No.648 of 2020, under Sections 386, 323, 354, 354-D, 506 IPC, P.S. Sipari Bazar, District Jhansi, pending in the court of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Jhansi, are hereby quashed.

¶19

Accordingly, the present application stands allowed .

¶20

If at all, opposite party no. 2 feels that she has been duped or betrayed, then in that event, she may seek recall of this order by way of filing recall application explaining the reasons.
