Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned A.G.A. for the State as well as Shri Ahilesh Kumar Mishra, learned Counsel appearing for respondent no. 2 who has filed vakalatnama which is taken on record.

Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the dispute between the parties has been amicably settled outside the Court by way of entering into compromise which is on record as Annexure No. 6 to the petition. It is further submitted that since the dispute has been settled outside the Court by the parties, the proceedings impugned are liable to be quashed in view of the judgment of Supreme Court in the case of "Gian Singh Vs. State of Punjab" reported in "(2012) 10 SCC 303".

Learned counsel for respondent no. 2 concedes the argument of learned counsel for the petitioners.

Learned A.G.A. has no objection if the proceedings are quashed provided the compromise is first verified by the competent Court.

In view of the above the parties are directed to appear before the learned trial court on 25.04.2022 along with the copy of original compromise deed, who shall verify the compromise in presence of the parties within one week thereafter and keep a report of the verification on the record of the Court after providing its copies to the parties.

For a period of one month, the proceedings of case No. 4435/2015 "State Vs. Aslam Quraishi and others", arising out of case crime No. 111/2015, under Sections 498-A/323/504/506 I.P.C. and Section 3/4 of Dowry Prohibition Act, P.S. Kotwali, District Barabanki shall be kept in abeyance.

In view of the above, the petition is disposed of.

Liberty to the parties is granted to approach this Court again for quashing of the proceedings on the basis of compromise and its verification.
