C-528 No. 536 of 2026 Hon’ble Alok Mahra, J.
Mr. Gaurav Singh, learned counsel for the applicant. 2. Mr. S.C. Dumka, learned A.G.A. for the State. 3. Mr. Ramji Srivastav, learned counsel for respondent no. 3. 4. The present criminal misc. application is filed with a prayer to set-aside the chargesheet, summoning/cognizance order as well as the entire proceedings of Criminal Case No. 8218 of 2019, State Vs. Ameer Hamja Qureshi, under Sections 363 and 366A of IPC, pending in the court of learned CJM, Haridwar and also the subsequent proceedings of Session Trial No. 63 of 2021, State Vs. Ameer Hamja Qureshi, pending in the court of learned 4th Additional Session Judge, Haridwar, on the basis of compromise between the parties. 5. Now, parties have entered into an agreement and they have settled their grievances. They are present before this Court through video conferencing and are duly identified by their respective counsels. Parties have also filed their respective affidavits stating the facts of compromise between them. 6. Compounding application is also filed in the matter wherein it is prayed to compound the offence between the parties under Sections 363 and 366A of IPC. 7. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the parties have amicably settled their dispute and have entered into a compromise. 8. Learned State Counsel raised a preliminary objection to the effect that the offences sought to be compounded are non- compoundable. 9. However, the Hon’ble Apex Court in the case of B.S. Joshi and others Vs. State of Haryana reported in (2003) 4 S.C.C., Page 675, has permitted compounding of non- compoundable offences with the permission of Court. 10. Furthermore, 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. 11. Following the aforesaid ratio, present compounding application is allowed. The offences between the parties are permitted to be compounded. As a result, the entire proceedings of Criminal Case No. 8218 of 2019, State Vs.
Ameer Hamja Qureshi, under Sections 363, 366A of IPC, pending in the court of learned CJM, Haridwar and also the subsequent proceedings of Session Trial No. 63 of 2021, State Vs. Ameer Hamja Qureshi, pending in the court of learned 4th Additional Session Judge, Haridwar are hereby quashed qua the applicant. FIR and charge-sheet filed pursuant thereto stand quashed. 12. C-528 application stands disposed of in the aforesaid terms. (Alok Mahra J.)
