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. Versus Counsel for Applicant(s) : Lalit Kumar Srivastava Counsel for Opposite Party(s) : G.A. Smt Bharti @ Meena And 3 Others .....Applicant(s) State of U.P. and Another .....Opposite Party(s) 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. May 6, 2026 Puspendra NA528 No. 18577 of 2026 2 (Nand Prabha Shukla,J.)
