Mr. Amit Kapri, Advocate for the applicant. Mr. Siddhartha Bisht, A.G.A. and Mr. Prabhat Kandpal, Brief Holder for the State of Uttarakhand. Mr. Chandramauli Shah and Mr. Deep Prakash Bhatt, Advocate for respondent no.2. 2. Present C-528 application is filed with the prayer to set-aside the entire proceedings of Sessions Trial No.31 of 2022, pending in the Court of learned Sessions Judge, Pithoragarh on the basis of compromise between the parties. 3. Compounding application (I.A. No.1 of 2025) is also filed in the matter wherein it is prayed to compound the offence between the parties. 4. Applicant as well as respondent nos.2 & 3 appeared before this Court virtually, who are duly identified by their respective counsel. Parties 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 counsel for the applicant submits that bare perusal of the medical report would reveal that offence under Section 307 I.P.C. is not made out against the applicant. 2026:UHC:939 7. Learned State Counsel vehemently opposed the compounding application. 8. Hon’ble Supreme Court, in a catena of its judgments, has observed that in cases where because of the compromise 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. 9. 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 Sessions Trial No.31 of 2022, pending in the Court of learned Sessions Judge, Pithoragarh are hereby quashed. 10. C-528 application stands disposed of.
