Both the parties i.e. petitioners and complainant have compromised the matter and have executed a compromise/deed of compromise on 25/9/2006 (Annexure-1). The offence under Section 420 IPC has been compromised by them seeking permission of the concerned court. The 2103/2006 2 concerned court has however, declined permission to compound the aforesaid offences as they are non- compoundable. Hence, they have invoked the inherent jurisdiction of this Court for quashing of the criminal proceedings. The accused-petitioners are said to be presently confined in District Jail Dholpur. Non- petitioner No.1, the complainant is present in court who has stated that the offence under Section 420 IPC has been compounded by him with the accused- petitioners with the permission of the court and the accused-petitioners have been acquitted of the said offence on the basis of the said compromise. Learned counsel for the parties have jointly submitted that now the parties have arrived at a compromise. Therefore, the criminal proceedings pending before the court below may be quashed so that there may not be any more bitterness between them and they may live their life peacefully. They have submitted on the strength of B.S. Joshi & Ors. Vs. State of Haryana and another- [2003 RCC (SC) 400] that the High Court in exercise of its inherent powers can quash criminal proceedings /F.I.R. / complaint and Section 320 Cr.P.C. does not affect or limit the inherent powers vested in this Court under Section 482 Cr.P.C. Keeping in view the law laid down by their Lordships of the Hon'ble Apex Court in the aforementioned authority and considering the facts and circumstances of the present case, the criminal proceedings pending between the parties in the court 2103/2006 3 below deserve to be quashed for securing the ends of justice.
