C-482 No. 478 of 2023 Hon’ble Ashish Naithani, J.
Mr. Vikas Kumar Guglani, learned counsel for the Applicant.
2. Mr. S.S. Chauhan, learned Deputy Advocate General along with Mr. B.C. Joshi, learned A.G.A. for the State of Uttarakhand.
3. Mr. B.S. Koranga, learned counsel for Respondent No. 2.
4. Heard on Recall Application (MCRC No. 06 of 2025).
5. `For the reasons stated in the Recall Application, the same is allowed. Order dated 09.09.2025 is recalled and the Criminal Misc. Application is restored to its original number.
6. A Compounding Application has been pending since
24.04.2023. Learned counsels for both parties submit that there was a matrimonial discord between the Applicant and Respondent No. 2. During the pendency of the matter, the parties have obtained a decree of divorce by mutual consent, and therefore, nothing survives in the dispute.
7.
Learned counsel for the Applicant, however, submits that though a decree of divorce has been obtained on mutual consent, criminal proceedings are still pending against the Applicant before the Trial Court, and his Application under Section 482 Cr.P.C. seeking quashing of the said proceedings is also pending consideration.
8. Keeping this in view, learned counsel for the parties are requested to make earnest efforts, firstly, for disposal of the Compounding Application. In case the parties are unable to appear personally before this Court, they may appear through video conferencing, subject to due verification by their respective learned counsels.
9. If, despite the above liberty, either of the parties fails to appear and the Compounding Application remains
undisposed of, the matter shall proceed for final hearing and disposal of the quashing prayer under Section 482 Cr.P.C.
10. List this case on 08.10.2025.
