Present C-528 application is filed with the prayer to set-aside/quash the charge sheet dated 24.08.2017, cognizance/summoning order dated 11.01.2018 and the entire proceedings of Criminal Case No.674 of 2018, pending in the Court of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Haridwar on the basis of compromise between the parties. 3. Compounding application (I.A. No.1 of 2026) is also filed in the matter wherein it is prayed to compound the offence between the parties. 4. Parties joined the proceedings through video conferencing, who are duly identified by their respective counsel. They have also filed their respective affidavits stating the facts of compromise between them. 5. It is submitted by the parties that a decree of mutual divorce between applicant no.1 and respondent no.2 was granted on 04.04.2026. It is further jointly submitted that all disputes and differences between the parties have been amicably settled and resolved. 2026:UHC:2569 6. Learned State Counsel vehemently opposed the compounding application. 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 Criminal Case No.674 of 2018, pending in the Court of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Haridwar, are hereby quashed. 9. C-528 application stands disposed of.
