State of Telangana and Anr . 2024 INSC 750 wherein in paragraph Nos.19 and 20, it is held as follows: “19. This Court found that though the offence punishable under Section 420 of the IPC was compoundable under sub-section (2) of Section 320 CrPC with the leave of the Court, the offence of forgery was not included as one of the compoundable offences. However, the Court found that in such cases the principle enunciated in the case of B.S. Joshi and others v. State of Haryana and another should be applied. 20. However, the Court found that in such cases the principle enunciated in the case of B.S. Joshi and others v. State of Haryana and another should be applied. 20. This Court specifically noted that though it is alleged that certain documents had been created by the appellant therein to avail of credit facilities beyond the limit to which the Company was entitled, the power of quashing could be exercised. This Court found that in view of a compromise arrived at between the Company and the Bank, it was a fit case where a technicality should not be allowed to stand in the way of quashing of the criminal proceedings. This Court found that in view of the settlement arrived at between the parties, continuance of the same would be an exercise in futility.” 8. In view the said report of the Secretary, Telangana High Court Legal Services Committee, Hyderabad, in view of the law laid down by the Hon’ble Supreme Court in K. Bharathi Devi (supra) and also in view of the compromise entered into between the petitioner and respondent No.2, I.A.Nos.2 and 3 of 2025 are allowed. Consequently, the Criminal Petition is allowed and the proceedings in Crime No.152 of 2025 of Chaderghat Police Station, Hyderabad, are hereby quashed against the petitioner/accused.
