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.

¶16

In view of the aforesaid facts and considering that the parties do not wish to pursue the case any further, the dispute is essentially of a private nature and has no wider social impact. Since it has been mutually settled between the parties by way of a compromise, no useful purpose would be served by proceeding with the matter further.

¶17

For the discussions made above, the present application is allowed and entire proceedings of S.S.T. No. 439 of 2018 (Case No. 1201 of 2013), arising out of Case Crime No. 117 of 2013, under Sections 308, 325, 323, 504 of IPC, P.S. Rajpura, District Sambhal are hereby quashed.
