Mr. Tejas Agarrwal, Advocate for the applicant. Mr. Pradeep Lohani, Brief Holder for the State of Uttarakhand. Mr. Mahavir Kohli, Advocate for respondent no.2. 2. Present C-528 application is filed with the prayer to set-aside/quash the charge sheet dated 10.11.2024 and the entire proceedings of Criminal Case No.69 of 2025, pending in the Court of learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Kotdwara, District Pauri Garhwal on the basis of compromise between the parties. 3. Compounding application (I.A. No.1 of 2026) is also filed in the matter wherein it is prayed to compound the offence between the parties. 4. Parties are also present before this Court, who are duly identified by their respective counsel. They have also filed their respective affidavits stating the facts of compromise between them. 5. It is jointly submitted by the parties that they have settled their scores. 6. Learned State Counsel vehemently opposed the compounding application. 7. Hon’ble Supreme Court, in a catena of its judgments, has observed that in cases where because of the compromise 2026:UHC:1646 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. 8. Following the aforesaid ratio, present compounding application is allowed. The offences between the parties are permitted to be compounded. As a result, entire proceedings of Criminal Case No.69 of 2025, pending in the Court of learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Kotdwara, District Pauri Garhwal, are hereby quashed. 9. C-528 application stands disposed of.
