SL. No. Dat e Office Notes, reports, orders or proceedings or directions and Registrar’s order with Signatures COURT’S OR JUDGE’S ORDERS 2026:UHC:314 WPCRL No.6 of 2026 Hon’ble Ashish Naithani, J. Mr. Bilal Ahmed, learned counsel for the Petitioner. 2. Mr. Vipul Painuly, learned AGA, for the State of Uttarakhand/1 and 2. 3. Mr. A.K. Beniwal, learned counsel for the Respondent No.3. 4. The present writ petition has been filed by the Petitioner under Article 226 of the Constitution of India challenging the Case Crime No.546 of 2023, under Sections 323, 354, 376, 377, 498-A and 506 of IPC, and under Sections ¾ of the Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961, at Police Station Gang Nahar, District Haridwar. 5. Parties are present in person before this Court, who are duly identified by their learned counsel respectively. 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 (IA No.1/2026) 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 Petitioner 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, Case Crime No.546 of 2023, under Sections 323, 354, 376, 377, 498-A and 506 of IPC, and under Sections ¾ of the Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961, at Police Station Gang Nahar, District Haridwar, is hereby quashed insofar as it relates to the present Petitioner, 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.) 08.01.2026 Nitesh/
