Abdul Sattar @ Shanu And Another vs State Of U.P. Thru. Addl. Chief Home Lko. ...

Sri Tribhuwan Agnihotri, Advocate has put in appearance by filing Vakalatnama on behalf of opposite party no.2 and the same is taken on record.

Heard learned counsel for the applicants, learned A.G.A. for the State, Sri Tribhuwan Agnihotri, learned counsel for the opposite party no. 2 and perused the material placed on record.

By means of the instant application, the applicants have prayed to quash the summoning order dated 25.01.2022 passed against the petitioners and the charge sheet dated 24.05.2020, including the entire proceedings of the case arising out of FIR No. 0077 of 2020 u/s 323, 504 & 506 of IPC Saadatganj District Lucknow pending in the court of Ld. Judicial Magistrate/ATS, Lucknow as case no. 3492 of 2022, in the lights of the compromise deed executed between the parties.

Learned counsel for the applicants submits that due to certain misunderstanding, the instant F.I.R. was lodged against the applicants. He added that later on, the parties sat together and have amicably settled their disputes, which has been reduced in writing on 15.04.2025. Thereafter, the applicants filed an Application U/S 482 No. 3533 of 2025 wherein this Court vide order dated 18.08.2025 has directed the trial court to verify the said compromise deed and in compliance thereof, the compromise deed was verified on 01.10.2025. He submits that now there is no dispute in between the parties and they have settled their dispute. He submits that further criminal proceedings in the instant matter would amount to harassment and, thus, the instant criminal proceedings against the applicants may be quashed.

Learned counsel for the opposite party no.2 has also supported the version of the learned counsel for the applicants and submits that parties have amicably settled their dispute and the opposite party no.2 has no grievance, hence, criminal proceedings against the applicants may be dropped.

Learned counsel for the State has no objection to the submissions aforesaid.

Considering the aforesaid submissions of the learned counsel for the parties, I find that compromise has been entered into between the parties on 15.04.2025 and said compromise has been verified on 01.10.2025 and, now, as per the statement of learned counsel for the parties, they do not want to press the aforementioned criminal proceedings against the applicants.

In view of the above, as the applicants and opposite parties have entered into compromise on 15.04.2025 and no grievance remains to be agitated and, as such, further criminal proceedings in the aforementioned criminal case are liable to be set aside in view of the Judgments of the Apex Court rendered in B.S. Joshi and others Vs. State of Haryana and another (2003) 4 SCC 675; Nikhil Merchant Vs. Central Bureau of Investigation (2008) 9 SCC 677; Manoj Sharma Vs. State and others, (2008) 16 SCC 1; Gian Singh Vs. State of Punjab (2012) 10 SCC 303; and Narindra Singh and others Vs. State of Punjab (2014) 6 SCC 466.

Accordingly, entire criminal proceedings against the applicants in case no. 3492 of 2022 arising out of FIR No. 0077 of 2020 u/s 323, 504 & 506 of IPC Saadatganj District Lucknow, summoning order dated 25.01.2022, charge sheet dated 24.05.2020, are hereby quashed.

The compromise shall be part of this order.

The application is allowed accordingly.

Consigned to the records.
