Central Bureau of Investigation and<br \/>\n\tanother,<br \/>\n\t(2008)9 SCC 677, the Apex Court has held that when a compromise has<br \/>\n\tbeen arrived at between the parties, by which the parties have<br \/>\n\twithdrawn all claims and allegations against each other,<br \/>\n\ttechnicality should not be allowed to stand in the way in quashing<br \/>\n\tthe criminal proceedings since the same would be a futile exercise.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t<a href=\"\/doc\/1442974\/\">In<br \/>\n\tMadan Mohan Abbot v. State of Punjab,<\/a> (2008)4 SCC 582,<br \/>\n\tthe Apex Court has made the following observations :\n<\/p>\n<p>\t [6]\tWe<br \/>\n\tneed to emphasise that it is perhaps advisable that in disputes<br \/>\n\twhere the question involved is of a purely personal nature, the<br \/>\n\tcourt should ordinarily accept the terms of the compromise even in<br \/>\n\tcriminal proceedings as keeping the matter alive with no possibility<br \/>\n\tof a result in favour of the prosecution is a luxury which the<br \/>\n\tcourts, grossly overburdened as they are, cannot afford and that the<br \/>\n\ttime so saved can be utilized in deciding more effective and<br \/>\n\tmeaningful litigation.  This is a common sense approach to the<br \/>\n\tmatter based on ground of realities and bereft of the technicalities<br \/>\n\tof the law.\n<\/p>\n<p>\tHaving<br \/>\n\tregard to the allegations made in the first information report, it<br \/>\n\tis evident that the same are purely personal in nature.   Subsequent<br \/>\n\tto the lodging of the complaint, the parties i.e. the applicants and<br \/>\n\tthe respondent No.2   complainant have amicably settled the<br \/>\n\tdisputes between them, which has been reduced in writing in the form<br \/>\n\tof the compromise deed dated 1st September 2008, wherein<br \/>\n\tit is recorded that pursuant to the complaint in question, the<br \/>\n\tpolice had started investigation in connection with the said<br \/>\n\toffence;  that due to intervention of leaders of the community and<br \/>\n\tthe village, the parties have settled the matter between them and<br \/>\n\tboth the sides  have, without any force, willingly settled the<br \/>\n\tmatter between them. Under the compromise recorded between the<br \/>\n\tparties, the respondent No.2   complainant has agreed that in the<br \/>\n\tproceedings under Section 482 of the Code filed before this Court,<br \/>\n\tthe present compromise deed would be produced and that the parties<br \/>\n\twould agree that the complaint be quashed in the interest of<br \/>\n\tjustice.\n<\/p>\n<p>\tConsidering<br \/>\n\tthe facts of the case, in the light of the decisions cited<br \/>\n\thereinabove, this Court is of the view that as the parties have<br \/>\n\tamicably settled the disputes between them, which even otherwise are<br \/>\n\tpersonal in nature, no useful purpose would be served by permitting<br \/>\n\tthe prosecution to continue.  Besides, in view of the amicable<br \/>\n\tsettlement arrived at between the parties, chances of an ultimate<br \/>\n\tconviction are also bleak.  In the circumstances, this is a fit case<br \/>\n\tfor exercise of powers under Section 482 of the Code to secure the<br \/>\n\tends of justice.\n<\/p>\n<p>\tFor<br \/>\n\tthe foregoing reasons, the petition succeeds and is, accordingly,<br \/>\n\tallowed.  Inquiry Case No.7 of 2008 pending before the learned<br \/>\n\tJudicial Magistrate First Class, at Dakor, is hereby quashed. Rule<br \/>\n\tis made absolute accordingly.\n<\/p>\n<p>\tRegistry<br \/>\n\tis directed to place a copy of this order in both the applications.\n<\/p>\n<p>\tDirect<br \/>\n\tservice is permitted.\n<\/p>\n<p>[HARSHA<br \/>\nDEVANI, J.]<\/p>\n<p>parmar*<\/p>\n<p>\t\t   \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\t\t   Top<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gujarat High Court Rajesh vs State on 31 March, 2011 Author: Harsha Devani,&amp;Nbsp; Gujarat High Court Case Information System Print CR.MA\/800020\/2008 5\/ 5 ORDER IN THE HIGH COURT OF GUJARAT AT AHMEDABAD CRIMINAL MISC.APPLICATION No. 8000 of 2008 with CRIMINAL MISC.
