GUMAN SINGH Vs. STATE OF RAJASTHAN

JUDGEMENT

(1.) This criminal misc. petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. has been preferred for quashing of the criminal proceedings pending against the petitioner before the Court of Judicial Magistrate, Jodhpur in Criminal Case No. 16/2017 arising out of FIR No. 187/2005, P.S. Udaimandir, Distt. Jodhpur for offence under Sections 467, 468, 471 I.P.C. on the basis of compromise. Learned Magistrate vide order dated 26.6.2019 while partly allowing the application filed by the parties has verified the compromise qua offence under Section 420 I.P.C. but refused to compound the offence under Sections 467, 468, 471 I.P.C.

(2.) Learned Counsel for the petitioner has argued that the complainant-respondent No. 2 and the petitioner have already entered into compromise and on the basis of it, there is no possibility of conviction of the petitioner for the offences punishable under Sections 467, 468, 471 I.P.C. It is also argued that no useful purpose would be served by continuing the trial against the petitioner for the aforesaid offences because the same may derail the compromise arrived at between the parties.

(3.) Learned Counsel for the respondent No. 2 has admitted that the parties have already entered into compromise and resolved their dispute amicably and the respondent No. 2 does not want to press the charges levelled against the petitioner in relation to offences punishable under Sections 467, 468, 471 I.P.C.
