After interacting with the parties, the grounds are sufficient for allowing the compounding application as the Respondent no. 3 has submitted that the alleged amount has been refunded/returned by the Petitioner to Respondent no.3 and the matter has been settled amicably between the parties and now the Respondent no. 3 does not want to prosecute the Petitioner and also does not want to proceed with the matter against the Petitioner in any manner, therefore, the proceedings and other consequential order, if any, arising out of the F.I.R. in question may be quashed. 10. The learned State counsel poses his formal objection in this regard. 11. In view of the above, the compounding application is allowed. The impugned F.I.R. No.0105 of 2025, registered on 26.06.2025, for the offence punishable under Section 318(4) of BNS, 2023, lodged at Police Station Dineshpur, District Udham Singh Nagar, is hereby quashed against the Petitioner. 12. Accordingly, the present writ petition (criminal) under Article 226 of the Constitution of India is, thus, disposed of in terms of the compromise arrived at between the parties.
