1 spb/ IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE SIDE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 2172 OF 2009 Mr. Santosh Kaluram Landage & Ors. ... Applicants. Versus State of Maharashtra & Anr. . ... Respondents. --- Ms. Pranali Kakade for the Applicants. Mr. S.R. Shinde, APP for the State. --- CORAM : B. R. GAVAI, J. DATED : 04th March, 2010. P.C. : 1. Rule. Rule made returnable forthwith. Heard by consent of the parties. 2. By way of present Application, the applicants pray for quashing and setting aside the C.R.No. 167/2009 registered with Bhosari Police Station, Pune on the basis of the complaint filed by the Respondent No.1 for the offence punishable under sections 143, 147, 148, 149, 307, 323, 427 of the IPC and under section 4/25 of the Arms Act and under section 37(1) r/w. 135 of the Bombay Police Act. 2 3. The FIR is filed at the instance of Respondent No.2, alleging therein that the complainant and the accused were known to each other since they were playing cricket. It has been averred in the FIR that on 15th April,2009 there was a party at the residence of the accused no.1. The applicants noticed that there was some altercations between the accused and the respondent no.2 and on account of that the accused assaulted the respondent no.2. 4. The respondent no. 2 has filed affidavit, stating therein that the parties are known to each other and that the complainant is not interested to proceed further with the criminal proceedings. 5. It can be seen that the dispute between the parties was purely personal dispute and it had taken place at the spur of moment due to heat exchange of words between them. The Apex Court in the case of Madan Mohan Abbot vs. State of Punjab, (2008) 4 Supreme Court Cases 582, has in para 6 observed thus : “6. We need to emphasis that it is perhaps advisable that in disputes where the question involved is of a purely personal nature, the court should ordinarily accept the terms of the compromise even in criminal proceedings as keeping the matter alive with no possibility of a result in favour of the prosecution is a luxury which the courts, grossly overburdened as they are, cannot afford and that the time so saved can be utilized in deciding more effective and meaningful litigation. This is a 3 common sense approach to the matter based on ground of realities and bereft of the technicalities of the law.” 6. In view of the law laid down by the Apex Court in the judgment , cited supra, and since the dispute between the parties is purely of personal nature, in addition thereto that the dispute has been amicably resolved, I am of the considered view that this is a fit case where this court shall exercise its inherent jurisdiction under section 482 of the Cr. P.C.. and thus the court should give end to such a proceeding. 7. The Application is allowed. Rule is, therefore, made absolute in terms of prayer clause (a). (B.R.GAVAI, J.) .....
