Mr. Hemant Singh Mahra, Advocate for the applicant. Mr. Pankaj Joshi, A.G.A. for the State of Uttarakhand. Mr. Ketan Joshi, Advocate for respondent no.2. 2. Present C-528 application is filed with the prayer to set-aside/quash the charge sheet dated 12.07.2023, cognizance/summoning order dated 26.07.2023 and the entire proceedings of Criminal Case No.3050 of 2023, pending in the Court of learned Judicial Magistrate, Haldwani, District Nainital on the basis of compromise between the parties. 3. Compounding application (I.A. No.2 of 2026) is also filed in the matter wherein it is prayed to compound the offence between the parties. 4. Parties are present before this Court and 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. 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 2026:UHC:600 High Court may quash the criminal proceedings as continuation of the same would cause great prejudice and injustice to the accused. 7. 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 Criminal Case No. 3050 of 2023, pending in the Court of learned Judicial Magistrate, Haldwani, District Nainital, are hereby quashed. 8. C-528 application stands disposed of. Urgency application (I.A. No.1 of 2026) is accordingly disposed of. (Alok Mahra, J.)
