IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY

BENCH AT AURANGABAD CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 2736 OF 2025 Rohan Gunvant Aadagale

VERSUS

The State Of Maharashtra And Another ...

Advocate for Applicant : Mr. Kiran P. Rathod APP for Respondent/State : Ms. R.R. Tandale Advocate for Respondent No.2 : Mr. Chavan Narayan Yashavantrao ...

CORAM : S. G. CHAPALGAONKAR, J.

DATED : APRIL 10, 2026 PER COURT :- 1.

Present applicant seeks quashment of FIR No.347 of 2023 dated 03.05.2023 registered with Sadar Bazar Police Station, Jalna for offences punishable under Section 323, 324, 326, 354-A, 427 of Indian Penal Code r/w Section 34 and proceeding in R.C.C. No.1025 of 2023 pending before Chief Judicial Magistrate, Jalna. 2.

On 30.07.2025, learned advocates appearing for applicant and respondent no.2 made joint submission before this Court that parties have amicably settled dispute and they wish to file terms of compromise before this Court. Accordingly, parties presented themselves before Registrar (Judicial) of this Court. Respondent no.2 filed terms of compromise along with attested copies of Aadhar Card. Parties put their signatures on terms of compromise and stated to have executed same voluntarily without any force. Respondent no.2 agreed to withdraw all allegations made in FIR as against

972-appln-2736-2025.odt (2) applicant/accused Rahul. Perusal of terms of compromise shows that during pendency of criminal application, parties have amicably resolved dispute and respondent no.2 has given no objection to quash criminal proceedings.

3.

Looking to nature of allegations in FIR, it is discernible that it was purely a personal dispute between respondent no.2 and accused and same does not fall within public domain. In such case, as per law laid down by Hon'ble Supreme Court in case of Narinder Singh and Others Vs. State of Punjab and another reported in (2014) 6 SCC 466, inherent power can be exercised to quash and set aside FIR on the basis of compromise particularly when dispute is of personal nature.

4.

In that view of matter, criminal application stands allowed in terms of prayer clause (C).
