Ms. Ruchika Negi, learned counsel holding brief of Mr. Mohammad Suhail, learned counsel for the private Respondent No.3. 4. The present writ petition has been filed by the Petitioners under Article 226 of the Constitution of India challenging the Case Crime No.440 of 2023, under Sections 323, 498A, 504 of IPC and under Sections ¾ of the Dowry Prohibition Act, dated 17.08.2023, at Police Station Patel Nagar, Dehradun, District Dehradun, as well as the charge-sheet dated 31.01.2024 cognizance order dated 23.09.2024 passed by the court of learned ACJM, 1st Dehradun in Criminal Case No.7456 of 2024. 5. Petitioner No.1 is present in person before this Court and Respondent No.3 is present before this Court through video conferencing. After interacting with the parties, it seems that the parties do not wish to carry the matter further and have settled their disputes amicably. Considering the overall facts and circumstances of the case, this Court finds grounds are sufficient for allowing the compounding applications. 6. Learned State Counsel has vehemently opposed the compounding application. 7. Today, the matter is listed for disposal of the Compounding Application which seeks permission to compound the offence on the ground that the parties have amicably resolved their differences. 8. After interacting with the parties, this Court is satisfied that a genuine compromise has been reached, as evidenced by the vague and inconsistent responses concerning the incident. Furthermore, after speaking with both the Petitioners and the private Respondent, it appears that their statements were made voluntarily and not under any duress or pressure. 9. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, the Compounding Application is allowed. The compromise arrived at between the parties is accepted. Consequently, the Case Crime No.440 of 2023, under Sections 323, 498A, 504 of IPC and under Sections ¾ of the Dowry Prohibition Act, dated 17.08.2023, at Police Station Patel Nagar, Dehradun, District Dehradun, as well as the charge-sheet dated 31.01.2024 cognizance order dated 23.09.2024 passed by the court of learned ACJM, 1st Dehradun in Criminal Case No.7456 of 2024, is hereby quashed insofar as it relates to the present Petitioners, in terms of the compromise. 10. The Criminal Writ Petition stands disposed of accordingly. 11. All pending applications, if any, also stand disposed of. (Ashish Naithani, J.) 07.01.2026 Nitesh/
