S.B. Criminal Miscellaneous (Petition) No. 4322/2025, High Court of Judicature for Rajasthan, Bench at Jaipur (Justice Sameer Jain), decided 18/07/2025 ([2025:RJ-JP:26973]). Accused-petitioner Yogesh Asija filed a petition under Section 528 BNSS seeking quashing of FIR No. 41/2024 of Police Station Vidyadhar Nagar District Jaipur City (North), registered for offences under Sections 323, 342, 382, 386, 365, 504, 506 of IPC and Sections 3(1)(r), 3(1)(s), 3(2)(va) of SC/ST Act, on the basis of a compromise effectuated between him and complainant Ravi Shekhar Meena. Placing reliance on Gian Singh v. State of Punjab, (2012) 10 SCC 303 and Ramgopal v. State of Madhya Pradesh, 2022 (14) SCC 531 — whose reproduced passage records that a High Court may quash proceedings in exercise of its inherent powers under Section 482 Cr.P.C. even for non-compoundable offences once parties have amicably settled — and finding the inter-se dispute private and amicably resolved, the Court took the compromise on record, allowed the petition, and quashed the FIR with all consequential proceedings; pending applications, if any, were disposed of.
