dispute has amicably been settled between the parties and the
learned trial Court has, vide its order dated 14.09.2021, quashed
the proceeding qua Section 420 & 406 of IPC being
compoundable; but, declined to acknowledge the same qua
Sections 467, 468 & 471 of IPC being non-compoundable.
Referring the judgments of the Hon'ble Apex Court of India in
cases of Gian Singh versus State of Punjab & Anr. reported in
JT 2012 (9) SC-426 & Narinder Singh & Ors. versus State of
Punjab & Anr. reported in 2014 Cr.L.R. (SC) 351, he prayed for

acknowledging the factum of compromise between the parties,
submitted that he has no objection if the criminal proceeding in
question is quashed.
Heard the learned counsels for the parties and perused the
record.
From the material on record, it is apparent that the dispute,
predominantly of civil and private in nature, has amicably been
settled between the parties and the learned trial Court vide its
order dated 14.09.2021, quashed the proceeding qua Sections
420 & 406 of IPC on the basis of compromise. In view thereof and
the law laid down by the Hon'ble Apex Court of India in cases of
Gian Singh (supra) & Narinder Singh (supra), this Court
(3 of 3) [CRLMP-6096/2021]
deems it just and proper to quash the criminal proceeding pending
against the petitioners.
Resultantly, this criminal miscellaneous petition is allowed.

Criminal Case No.2127/2017, Tapan Sharma Vs. Abhishek & Ors.
