The said request has not been opposed by the respondent no.1. 9.

She has requested to quash the proceedings. In these circumstances, in case, the proceedings are allowed to continue, it would amount to denial of complete justice to the parties. Therefore, it is a case, 2 2025:UHC:7816 in which the inherent jurisdiction of this Court should be exercised to do real and substantial justice. 10. Therefore, ends of justice would be met if the entire proceedings of Sessions Trial No.80 of 2025, “State vs. Sameer Ansari”, pending before the court of Additional Sessions Judge/F.T.S.C., District Haridwar, are quashed. 11. Resultantly, the present Application filed under Section 528 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 is allowed and the entire proceedings of Sessions Trial No.80 of 2025, “State vs. Sameer Ansari”, pending before the court of Additional Sessions Judge/F.T.S.C., District Haridwar, are hereby quashed. 12.
