Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court allowed the appeal under Section 482 Cr.P.C. to quash the proceedings in GR Case No. 634 of 2001, where the appellant was chargesheeted under Sections 406, 420, and 120B IPC. The Court noted that the disputes between the parties had been settled outside of court, and therefore, there was no necessity for the criminal proceedings to continue. The Court emphasized that the trial court would need to consider the settlement, leading to the quashing of the proceedings.
