Detailed headnote1 paragraphs

Criminal Miscellaneous Petition under Section 528 BNSS — quashment of FIR on compromise — Accused-petitioners sought quashing of FIR No.83/2017, Police Station Renwal, District Jaipur Rural, for offences punishable under Sections 420, 467 & 468 IPC, and of all proceedings in case No.360/2021 (316/2025) before the Senior Civil Judge & Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Kishangarh Renwal. The trial Court had earlier accepted the parties' compromise application only for the Section 420 IPC offence and refused it for Sections 467, 468 & 120B IPC. Holding the case wholly covered by the principles in Gian Singh v. State of Punjab, 2012 Cr.L.J. (SC) 4934, and State of Haryana v. Choudhary Bhajan Lal, AIR 1992 SC 604, and noting that the compromise was not disputed by the State or the complainant, the Court held the FIR liable to be quashed despite Sections 467, 468 & 120B IPC being non-compoundable, and quashed the FIR and all consequent proceedings. Petition partly allowed; stay application and pending applications disposed of. (Anil Kumar Upman, J.; 18/03/2026)
