Naushey Ali vs State of U.P. 2025 INSC 182- S 482 CrPC - S 307 IPC - Attempt To Murder Cases - Quashing On Settlement

Code of Criminal Procedure 1973 - Section 482 - Indian Penal Code 1860 - Section 306 - Will the mere mention of Section 307 IPC in the criminal proceedings force the court to adopt a hands-off approach, when parties come forward with a settlement? Mere mention of Section 307 IPC in the FIR or the charge-sheet should not be the basis for adopting a hands-off approach. It has further held that it would be open for the court to examine as to whether incorporation of Section 307 IPC is there for the sake of it or whether there is evidence to back it. (Para 9-12)

Code of Criminal Procedure 1973 - Section 320, 482 - Quashing of offence or criminal proceedings on the ground of settlement between an offender and victim is not the same thing as compounding of offence. (Para 6)
