NEERJA K. KALSON, J . (Oral)

1. The petitioner has filed the instant petition under Section 528 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 for quashing of FIR No.87 dated 14.09.2020 registered under Sections 354-D, 506 of Indian Penal Code, 1860 at Police Station Women West, Gurugram along with all consequential proceedings emanating therefrom on the basis of compromise dated 25.04.2025 (Annexure P-2).

2. This Court vide order dated 16.10.2025 had directed the parties to appear before the trial Court/Illaqa/Duty Magistrate to get their statements recorded and the learned trial Court/Illaqa/Duty Magistrate was directed to send its report qua the genuineness of the compromise.

3. Pursuant to the aforesaid order, parties have appeared before the Judicial Magistrate 1^st Class, Gurugram and got their statements recorded. On the basis of the statements so recorded, learned Judicial Magistrate 1^st Class, Gurugram has submitted report dated 03.11.2025 to the effect that the compromise has been effected between the parties voluntarily and without any coercion or undue influence.

4. Learned State counsel as well as counsel for respondent No.2 have not disputed the factum of compromise between the parties.

5. In view of the fact that dispute between the parties has arisen out of prior acquaintance between the parties and subsequently allegations of misconduct were levelled against the petitioner. Now the parties have amicably resolved their differences by deciding not to interfere in each other's lives, the continuation of the criminal proceedings would serve no purpose. The offences involved in the present case do not fall within the category of heinous offences having a serious impact on society at large. Rather the dispute appears to be purely private in nature, which has now been put to rest by the parties in shape of a compromise.

6. Accordingly, in view of the compromise effected between the parties and following the principles laid down by the Full Bench judgment of this Court in Kulwinder Singh and others Versus State of Punjab and another 2007 (3) RCR (Criminal) 1052 and Hon'ble Supreme Court in Gian Singh Versus State of Punjab and others (2012) 10 SCC 303, this Court is satisfied that it is a fit case warranting exercise of discretion under Section 482 Cr.P.C./ 528 of BNSS.

7. Consequently, the petition is allowed and FIR No.87 dated 14.09.2020 registered under Sections 354-D, 506 of Indian Penal Code, 1860 at Police Station Women West, Gurugram alongwith all the consequential proceedings arising therefrom, is hereby quashed qua the petitioner on the basis of compromise between the parties.

8. Pending application(s), if any, shall also stand disposed of.
