The application U/S 482 Cr.P.C. has been filed by the applicants to quash the proceedings of the Criminal Case No.4926 of 2016, Case Crime No.129 of 2014 under Sections 323, 504, 342 IPC, Police Station-Alambagh, District-Lucknow (State of Uttar Pradesh v.

The compromise has been reduced to writing and duly executed by the parties. The compromise has also been verified by the learned trial court in terms of the order dated 20.10.2023. The aforesaid facts could not be disputed by the learned A.G.A. and borne out from the records. Continuance of criminal proceedings in these circumstances will be an exercise in futility as there is no possibility of conviction of the applicants.
