3. That the instant Petition is being filed inter alia on following grounds:
A. Because in view of the said settlement the success of prosecution is remote
and thereby the continuation of proceedings in the said FIR shall be sheer
wastage of precious judicial time.
C. Because again in “Narinder Singh & Ors Vs State of Punjab & Ors”( 2014) 6 SCC
466 , it has been held by the Hon’ble Supreme Court that even non
compoundable offence can be quashed by the High Court under Section 482 of
Code of Criminal Procedure”. Para 31 (I) of the said Judgment reads as:
“(I) Power conferred under Section 482 of the Code is to be distinguished from the power
which lies in the Court to compound the offences under Section 320 of the Code. No doubt,
under Section 482 of the Code, the High Court has inherent power to quash the criminal
proceedings even in those cases which are not compoundable, where the parties have
settled the matter between themselves. However, this power is to be exercised sparingly
and with caution”
4. That the petitioners belong to respectable families and have deep roots in the
society and grave injustice shall be caused to them if the present petition is not
allowed.
5. That the present petition has been filed bona fide and in the interest of
justice.

other resource or remedy available except for filing the present petition and
seek indulgence and by exercise of inherent power in order to prevent abuse of
process of law and to secure ends of Justice.
7. That the Petitioners have not filed any other similar petition before this
Hon’ble Court or before the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India.
PRAYER
In the facts and circumstances of the case, it is therefore prayed that this
