It may be noted that in the occurrence simiple injuries were caused and the trial court had already acquitted the petitioners of offences under Sections 323 and 341 IPC. 7. The parties have jointly relied upon Gian Singh v. State of Punjab & Another, (2012) 10 SCC 303 , to contend that that this Court under Section 482 Cr.P.C. can quash the proceedings to advance the interest of justice. 8. After hearing the parties, this Court is of the view that the compromise is finest hour between the parties and this Court ought to grant due sanctity to the amicable resolution of dispute between the parties. 9. Consequently, taking totality of circumstances, and ratio of law laid in the case of Gian Singh (supra), the present petition is accepted and the impugned FIR along with all subsequent proceedings is quashed.
