Court No. - 78
                  HON'BLE NAND PRABHA SHUKLA, J.

1. Heard Sri Lalit Kumar Srivastava, learned counsel for the applicants,
learned A.G.A. for the State and perused the record.

2. The present application under Section 528 B.N.S.S. has been filed to
allow this application and to quash the charge sheet dated 03.04.2025 and
summoning order dated 24.06.2025 as well as entire criminal proceeding
of Criminal Case No. 12582 of 2025 (State Vs Anil and others) arising
out of case crime no.753 of 2024 under sections 498A, 323, 504 I.P.C.
and 3/4 Dowry Prohibition Act, Police Station Sikandara, District-Agra,
pending in the Court of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Agra on the basis of
compromise taken place between the parties.

3. Learned counsel for the applicants submits that the applicants and
opposite party no.2 have amicably settled their disputes through
compromise dated 20.04.2026 which has been placed as Annexure No.
"3" to the application. Therefore, no useful purpose would be served in
continuing the proceedings before the Court concerned and the same is
not only sheer wastage of time of the Court but also abuse of process of
law.

4. Learned A.G.A., however, submits that it is the Trial Court, which has
to verify the fact as to whether the parties have entered into compromise,
hence the applicants may approach the concerned Court and move an
application with respect to compromise between the parties, which will be
decided in accordance with law.
                                                                                           NA528 No. 18577 of 2026
                                                                    2


                                    5. In view of above, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the
                                    case, both the parties are directed to appear in person before the Trial
                                    Court along with compromise deed as well certified copy of this order
                                    within three weeks from today. It is expected that Court concerned may
                                    fix a date for the verification of the compromise and after ensuring the
                                    presence of the parties, pass an appropriate order with respect to the same
                                    in accordance with law, as expeditiously as possible, after giving
                                    opportunity of hearing to both the parties, preferably within a period of
                                    three months from the date of production of a certified copy of this order,
                                    if there is no other legal impediment. While passing the order verifying
                                    the compromise, the Court concerned shall also record the statements of
                                    the parties as to whether all the terms and conditions mentioned in the
                                    original compromise deed, so filed, have been fulfilled or not.

                                    6. The Court in that scenario will allow the parties to obtain certified copy
                                    of the report as well as compromise and it will be open to the applicants
                                    to approach this Court again for quashing of the proceedings.

                                    7. Till verification of compromise between the parties by the Court
                                    concerned, no coercive action shall be taken against the applicants in the
                                    aforesaid case.

                                    8. With the aforesaid directions, this application is disposed of.



                                                                                      (Nand Prabha Shukla,J.)
