Outcome

¶24

Issue for consideration

Whether the criminal proceedings in C.C.No.64 of 2019 (arising out of Crime No.103 of 2019) could be quashed under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure on the basis of the compromise between the parties.

¶22

Court's answer

As the parties have moved on and have no objection to disposal on compromise, and considering the factual matrix, the context in which the conflict arose, the background of the parties and their present position, this is an appropriate case for the exercise of jurisdiction under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure as per Gian Singh -vs- State of Punjab & another, (2012 10 SCC 303); filing of written affidavits or terms of compromise dispensed with owing to the Dedicated Bench's hybrid-hearing procedure.
