C482 No.646/08 Hon’ble Servesh Kumar Gupta, J. Mr. S.K. Aggarwal, Senior Advocate for the petitioners. Mrs. Mamta Bisht, AGA for the State/ respondent nos.1 to 3. Mr. Ramji Srivastava, Advocate for respondent no.4. Complainant Narendra Kumar (personally present) and accused Puneet Kumar Consul have filed the compromise application no.1323/2011 in the present controversy, which has resulted in filing of the chargesheet no.191/08 against Suman Kumar, Anil Kumar and Puneet Kumar for the offences of Sections 420, 467, 468, 471 and 120-B IPC. The dispute between the two pertained to the land transaction and that now has been amicably settled between them. So, on the basis of the precedent of the Hon’ble Apex Court in the case of Nikhil Merchant Vs. CBI & others reported in 2008 AIR SCW 7501, this compounding application, which is being personally pressed by both the parties in presence of their respective advocates, is hereby allowed and the compromise arrived at between them is accepted. Needless to mention that the Hon’ble Apex Court permitted the filing of compromise even in the cases of Sections 420, 468 and 471 IPC because if the trial is proceeding and the complainant is called for examination, then it will be a futile exercise. Therefore, notwithstanding the nature of the offences, being non-compoundable, technicalities should not stand in the way in quashing such criminal proceedings. The compounding application no.1323/11 is thus allowed. Petition is hereby allowed with the result the chargesheet in crime no.253 of 2008, which was registered as a criminal case no.6514 of 2008 u/s 420, 467, 468, 471 and 120-B IPC, r, Distt. Haridwar, is hereby quashed. P.S. Jwalapu (Servesh Kumar Gupta, J.) 09.11.2011 Rdang
