¶10

Heard learned counsel for the applicants, Mr. Mohd. Salman, learned counsel for opposite party no. 2, learned A.G.A. for the State and perused the record.

¶11

The instant application has been filed with the prayer to quash the entire proceeding of Charge sheet no. 01/2026, dated 06.06.2025 in Criminal Case no. 43125/2026, arising out of Case Crime/F.I.R no. 0175/2025, U/s 115 (2)/351 (3)/352 Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita-2023, Police Station Dubagga, District Lucknow.

¶12

Learned counsel appearing for the applicants submits that the applicants are innocent and have falsely been implicated in the instant case. He next added that under some misunderstanding, the instant F.I.R. has been lodged against the applicants and thereafter, the parties have amicably settled their dispute. The compromise deed has been reduced in writing on 10.04.2026, which has been annexed as annexure no. 3 to the instant application. He next added that now there is no grievance in between the parties with each other and the criminal proceedings against the applicants are the futile exercise as there is no fate of trial and that is amount to harassment of the applicants and thus, the criminal proceedings against the applicants may be quashed.

¶15

On the other hand, learned counsel appearing for the opposite parties has supported the version of the learned counsel for the applicants and submits that the parties have settled their dispute amicably through a compromise deed and there is no further grievance of the opposite parties against the present applicants and the criminal proceedings against the applicants may be dropped.

¶19

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.

¶20

For a period of three months, the proceedings initiated in pursuance of Criminal Case no. 43125/2026, arising out of Case Crime/F.I.R no. 0175/2025, U/s 115 (2)/351 (3)/352 Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita-2023, Police Station Dubagga, District Lucknow, shall remain stayed so far as applicants are concerned.

¶21

The trial Court is directed to examine the fact that whether all the parties against whom the chargesheet was filed, the party in the compromise and in this respect, it shall also sent a report along with the verification order.

¶22
