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. It is reported that applicant is in jail. Respondent no.2 as well as respondent no.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 State Counsel vehemently opposed the compounding application. 2026:UHC:717 7. 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. 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 Sessions Trial No.32 of 2023, pending in the Court of learned VIIIth Additional Sessions Judge, Dehradun, are hereby quashed. Liberty is granted to the applicant, who is in jail, to approach the Magistrate concerned for obtaining the order for his release. 9. C-528 application stands disposed of.
