After interacting with the parties especially with 2026:UHC:285 Respondent no.3/complainant, who makes a statement that the parties have amicably resolved their differences and Respondent no.3 has decided to compound the offence; now the Respondent no.3/complainant does not want to prosecute the Petitioners in any manner as the parties are the residents of the same village, therefore, the proceedings and other consequential order arising out of the F.I.R. in question may be quashed. 10. The said compounding application is strongly opposed by the learned State counsel on the ground that some of the offences are non-compoundable. 11.

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 qua the Petitioners are hereby quashed. 13. In view of the above, the compounding application is allowed. The F.I.R. no.376 of 2025 dated 17.11.2025 for the offence punishable under Sections 115(2), 191(2), 352 of BNS, at Police Station Kunda, District Udham Singh Nagar, is hereby quashed. 14. 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.
