¶19

At the outset, this Court deems it appropriate to place reliance upon the judgment passed by the Hon’ble Apex Court in Gian Singh Vs. State of Punjab [(2012) 10 SCC 303] and Ramgopal Vs. The State of Madhya Pradesh reported in [2022 (14) SCC 531], relevant portion of which is reproduced below:

¶20

“12. The High Court, therefore, having regard to the nature of the offence and the fact that parties have amicably settled their dispute and the victim has willingly consented to the nullification of criminal proceedings, can quash such proceedings in exercise of its inherent powers under Section 482 Cr.P.C., even if the offences are noncompoundable.”

¶21

In view of the position of law laid down by the Hon’ble Apex Court in aforementioned case, and considering the personal nature of dispute, which has been amicably settled between parties, this Court deems it just and proper to allow the present misc. petition. Compromise is taken on record.

¶22

Considering the aforementioned, the present criminal miscellaneous petition is allowed and the FIR No.40/2025 registered at Police Station Chitrakoot, Jaipur (West) for offences under Section 408 of IPC with all consequential proceedings, are hereby quashed and set aside qua the petitioner.

¶23

Accordingly, the instant petition is allowed. Pending application(s), if any, stand disposed of.
