Prince Pachori – Appellant
Versus
State of Rajasthan – Respondent
ORDER :
1. This criminal misc. petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. has been preferred by the petitioner for quashing the FIR No.28/2022 registered at Police Station Dhanmandi, Distt. Udaipur for the offence under Sections 376 & 506 of IPC and entire criminal proceedings pursuant thereto, on the basis of compromise arrived at between the parties.
2. Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted 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 376 & 506 of IPC. 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 Public Prosecutor submits that the complainant has filed an application before the Investigation Officer mentioning therein that now, a compromise has arrived at between the parties. A report received from the concerned Police Station has been placed on record by the learned Public Prosecutor.
4. I have considered the arguments advanced before me and c
