JUDGMENT 1. - The petitioners have filed this petition under Section 482 Cr.PC with a prayer to quash criminal Proceedings in case No. 43/85 pending in the Court of learned Munsiff and Judicial Magistrate, Gangapur City. 2. It appears that some incident of Mar-pit had taken place between the parties on 13.12.84 and a report was made by Ram Prakash against the petitioners at Police Station, Garhmora, district Sawaimadhopur. The case was registered under Sections 147, 452, 324 and 382 IPC. On 24.1.94, the complainant and the accused persons moved an application before the learned Magistrate to the effect that they have compromised the offences and the complainant did not intend to prosecute the case. On the basis of the aforesaid compromise the learned Magistrate discharged the petitioners for the offence under Sections 323 and 324 IPC as they were compounded. However, the offences under Sections 147, 452 and 382 IPC being non- compoundable, the matter is going on. 3. It is contended by the learned counsel that the members of the accused party and the complainant party are neighbours and the incident took place on a trivial matter in which the members of both the parties had sustained injuries. It is also contended that there are cross cases and in order to maintain good relations as neighbourers and to live amicably and peacefully they have settled all their disputes amicably and a compromise petition was also also filed in both the criminal cases. In the cross case, all offences being compoundable the accused were discharged. It is also contended that about 91/2 years have passed since the commission of the offence but, still no progress has been made. Learned counsel further contended that the petitioners Mst. Chauthi and Mst. Lali are women. Learned cpunsel appearing for the injured-complainant agrees that the parties are living amicably and peacefully and they have settled all their disputes. He also contends that continuation of criminal proceedings between the parties may again strain the relations which is not in the interest of any of the parties. Learned counsel for the complainant also agrees that a compromise petition was filed by the complainant in which he has expressed his desire not to prosecute the present criminal case. 4. He also contends that continuation of criminal proceedings between the parties may again strain the relations which is not in the interest of any of the parties. Learned counsel for the complainant also agrees that a compromise petition was filed by the complainant in which he has expressed his desire not to prosecute the present criminal case. 4. Taking into consideration all the facts and circumstances as contended by the learned counsel for the parties and the fact that 91/2 years have already passed since the incident and still the charges have not been framed, I think it just and proper to quash the criminal proceedings in exercise of powers under Section 482 Cr.PC. It shall be in the interest of both the parties if the proceedings are quashed as they are neighbourers and continuation of criminal proceedings may again strain their relations. 5. Consequently, the petition is allowed and proceedings against the petitioners in Criminal Case No. 43/85 pending in the Court of Munsiff and Judicial Magistrate, Gangapur City are hereby quashed. The petitioners are hereby discharged from the charges levelled against them under Sections 147, 452 and 382 IPC.Petition allowed. *******
