After lunch, as per order of the Court, Jailer, Sub-Jail Haldwani makes an appearance through V.C. of Petitioner no.1, who is in judicial custody. 13. After interacting with the parties, the grounds are sufficient for allowing the compounding application as the Petitioner no.1 has submitted that he wishes to marry Respondent no.3; Petitioners and Respondent no.3 have submitted that the dispute has been settled amicably between the parties, now there is no dispute between them and Petitioner no.1 and Respondent no.3 have now mutually decided to get married and now they are majors in age, Respondent no.3 does not want to pursue the case against the Petitioners, therefore, the proceedings and other consequential order, if any, arising out of the F.I.R. in question may be quashed. 14. Learned State counsel poses his objection in this regard. 2025:UHC:8171 15. In view of the principle of law laid down by Hon'ble the Apex Court in the case of “Gian Singh vs. State of Punjab” reported in 2012 (10) SCC 303 as well as in Transfer Petition (Criminal) No. 115 of 2012 (Dimpey Gujral vs. Union Territory of Chandigarh) decided on 06.12.2012, criminal proceedings can be quashed by this Court, if this Court is satisfied with the facts and circumstances of the case. 16. Keeping in view of the totality of the facts and circumstances of the case, this Court is of the view that ends of justice would be met, if the entire proceedings against the Applicant are hereby quashed. 17. In view of the above, the compounding application is allowed. The F.I.R. No.0245 of 2025 dated 15.08.2025, for the offences punishable under Sections 115(2), 3, 351(2), 352, 64 of BNS, 2023, at P.S.
