Mr. Vishnu Kachhawaha, Public Prosecutor. Mr. Narpat Singh, respondent No.3 present in person. **** A complaint was filed before the Judicial Magistrate No.1, Jodhpur contemplating offences under Section 420, 406, 467, 468 and 471 IPC alleging therein that the present petitioner while acting as Trustee of the Temple retained the amount paid to him against rent and that amounts to an offence punishable under Section 406 IPC. A cognizance was taken by the trial court against the petitioner on 8.11.2006. However, prior to that on 14.6.2006 itself a compromise was arrived betwen the parties and an application was preferred by the parties that no further trial in the present matter is required. Learned trial court looking to the fact that the offences are not compoundable took cognizance by the order impugned. By this revision petition it is contended by learned counsel for the petitioner that this Court is having ample power while exercising powers under Section 397 read with Section 401 Cr.P.C. to quash the criminal proceedings. Today the complainant Sh. Narpat Singh is present in the Court and he stated that he does not want to proceed in the matter further against the petitioner. Having considered the statement given by the respondents I while exercising inherent powers of this Court under Section 482 Cr.P.C. consider it appropirate to quash the criminal case relating to which cognizance was taken by the trial court vide order dated 29.6.2007. :: 2 :: Accordingly, this revision petition is disposed of. The order impugned dated 8.11.2006 is quashed and the criminal proceedings those are relating to Crimnial Regular Case No.408/2006 pending before teh learned Judicial Magistrate No.1, Jodhpur are quashed.
