A Coordinate Bench of this Court vide order dated 17.09.2024 directed the parties to appear before the District Legal Services Authority, District Udham Singh Nagar, on 16.10.2024.

Other applicants and 2025:UHC:4918 respondent no.2 are present before this Court and are duly identified by their respective counsels. It is submitted by the respondent no.2 that he has settled the scores. 5. Learned State Counsel raised a preliminary objection to the effect that the offences punishable under Section 467, 468 & 471 I.P.C. sought to be compounded are non-compoundable. 6. Hon’ble Supreme Court, in a catena of its judgments, has observed that in cases where because of the compromise arrived at between the parties, possibility of conviction is remote and bleak, the High Court may quash the criminal proceedings as continuation of the same would cause great prejudice and injustice to the accused. 7. Following the aforesaid ratio, present compounding applications are allowed. The offences between the parties are permitted to be compounded. As a result, entire proceedings of Criminal Case No. 2649 of 2016, pending in the Court of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Rudrapur, District Udham Singh Nagar, are hereby quashed. 8. Criminal misc. applications stand disposed of.
