N.S. Gnaneshwaran vs Inspector Of Police 2025 INSC 787 - S.482 CrPC - Quashing On Settlement
Code of Criminal Procedure 1973 - Section 482 - HC dismissed petition seeking quashing of criminal proceedings against accused for offences under Section 120B read with Sections 420, 468, and 471 of the Indian Penal Code – Allowing appeal, SC observed: the present criminal proceedings to continue would serve no meaningful purpose, particularly when the dispute between the parties has already been resolved through a full and final settlement. The settlement between the parties having taken place after the alleged commission of the offence, and there being no continuing public interest we see no justification for allowing the matter to proceed further.
