2. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the matter
has already been compromised between the parties as is borne
out from the compromise-deed annexed with this petition. In view
thereof, respondent No.2 – complainant is not inclined to press
charges against the petitioners and proceed further in the matter.
Learned counsel has placed reliance on a decision of Supreme
Court in the case of Gian Singh Vs. State of Punjab & Anr.
[(2012) 10 SCC 303]. He urges that the impugned FIR and all
consequential proceedings may be quashed on the basis of
compromise.
3. Learned counsel for the respondents No.2 – complainant and
learned Public Prosecutor concur with the fact of compromise and
submit that in view of the compromise, they have no objection if
the FIR in question is quashed.
4. In the premise, applying the ratio in decision of Gian Singh
(Supra), I deem it just and proper to invoke inherent powers of
this Court under Section 528 of BNSS, 2023 (Section 482 Cr.P.C)
to avoid undue hardship to the parties.
5. Accordingly, the present misc. petition is allowed and the
F.I.R. No.327/2024 lodged at Police Station Sadar Chittorgarh,
District Chittorgarh, and all consequential proceedings for offences
under Sections 308(2), 316(2), 318(4), 338, 336(3), 340(2) and
61(2)(a) of BNS against the petitioners are hereby quashed.
6. Pending applications, if any, stand disposed of.
