HAZI GULAM HUSSAIN Vs. STATE OF U P

JUDGEMENT

(1.) HEARD the learned Counsel for the applicants and the learned Counsel for the respondent No. 2 and the learned A.G.A. for the respondent No. 1 and perused the record.

(2.) THIS is an application under section 482, Cr.P.C. for quashing the proceeding of criminal case No. 7361 of 2007, State v. Gulam Hussain, arising out of case crime No. 588 of 2006, under sections 420, 467, 468 and 471 I.P.C., P.S. Tanda, District Rampur.

(3.) IN light of the above observations of this Court in Gian Singh, we feel that this is a case where the continuation of criminal proceedings would tantamount to abuse of process of law because the alleged offences are not heinous offences showing extreme depravity nor are they against the society. They are offences of a personal nature and burying them would bring about peace and amity between the two sides. In the circumstances of the case, FIR No. 163 dated 26.10.2006 registered under sections 147, 148, 149, 323, 307, 452 and 506 of the I.P.C. at Police Station Sector 3, Chandigarh and all consequential proceedings arising therefrom including the final report presented under section 173 of the Code and charges framed by the Trial Court are hereby quashed.
