Heard learned counsel for the applicants, learned A.G.A. for the State and perused the record.

None appears for the opposite party No. 2.

¶11

The present application under Section 528 BNSS has been filed to allow the present application and quash the entire proceeding of Criminal Case No. 1539 (State Vs. Vineeta Devi) bearing Case Crime No. 185 of 2024, under Sections 147, 323, 504, 506, 452 IPC, Police Station-Raath, DistrictHamirpur pending in the Court of A.C.J.M., Rath, District-Hamirpur.

¶12

Learned counsel for the applicants submits that the parties have amicably settled their disputes vide compromise dated 10.05.2025, which has been placed as Annexure No. '4' to the present application. Therefore, no useful purpose would be served in continuing the proceedings before the Court concerned and the same is not only sheer wastage of time of the Court but also abuse of process of law.

¶13

Learned counsel for the opposite party No. 2 does not dispute the submissions advanced by the learned counsel for the applicants or correctness of the documents relied upon by him.

¶14

Learned A.G.A., however, submits that it is the Trial Court, which has to verify the fact as to whether the parties have entered into compromise, hence the applicants may approach the concerned Court and move an application

In view of above, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, both the parties are directed to appear before the Trial Court along with compromise deed as well certified copy of this order within three weeks from today. It is expected that Court concerned may fix a date for the verification of the compromise and after ensuring the presence of the parties, pass an appropriate order with respect to the same in accordance with law, as expeditiously as possible, after giving opportunity of hearing to both the parties, preferably within a period of three months from the date of production of a certified copy of this order, if there is no other legal impediment. While passing the order verifying the compromise, the Court concerned shall also record the statements of the parties as to whether all the terms and conditions mentioned in the original compromise deed, so filed, have been fulfilled or not.

The Court in that scenario will allow the parties to obtain certified copy of the report as well as compromise and it will be open to the applicants to approach this Court again for quashing of the proceedings.
