Mr. Prakash Thakuriya, ld. PP, on instructions from SubInspector Rajat Khatri, Police Station Kotwali, District Dausa, has submitted that no other

case is pending against the petitioners at Police Station Dausa and at the police station where they are residing.

As per learned Public Prosecutor, so far antecedents of the petitioners are concerned except this case they are not involved in any other case.

It has been often held by the Courts that hour of the compromise is the finest hour between the parties and the Court while exercising its inherent

jurisdiction under Section 482 Cr.P.C. can quash the proceedings even qua non-compoundable offences.

Relying upon the case of Gian Singh Vs. State of Punjab & Another [(2012) 10 S.C.C. 303], learned counsel for the parties have pleaded that this

Court while exercising its inherent jurisdiction under Section 482 Cr.P.C. ought to quash the criminal proceedings, which have been amicably resolved.

Considering the fact that parties have amicably resolved their dispute, the principle established by the Apex Court in the case of Gian Singh [supra]

and in the interest of justice, this Court, hereby, quashes impugned First Information Report No.494 dated 08.02.2016, registered at Police Station

Kotwali, District Dausa, Rajasthan, for above said offences, along with all subsequent proceedings.

Resultantly, the present petition is, hereby, allowed.
