Gian Singh vs State Of Punjab & Anr on 24 September, 2012
The specific observation made by the Hon'ble Apex Court is
that the offences which are not affecting the society or the
offences which are not heinous in nature and the parties
have settled their dispute, if the offences are private in
nature such matters can be allowed to be compromised and
such proceedings can be quashed. It is also stated in the
said decision that the offences arising out of the matrimonial
relationship or family disputes are of similar nature in which
the wrong is basically private or personal in nature and the
parties have resolved their entire dispute, the High Court
can quash the criminal proceedings. However, the Court
must consider whether it would be unfair or contrary to the
interest of justice that the criminal proceedings or
continuation of criminal proceedings tantamount to abuse of
process of law.
