Mr. Karan Anand, Advocate for the applicant. Mrs. Pushpa Bhatt, Additional Advocate General for the State of Uttarakhand. Mr. Subhash Joshi, Advocate for respondent no.2. 2. Present C-528 application is filed with the prayer to set-aside/quash the charge sheet dated 06.03.2025, cognizance/summoning order dated 31.05.2025 and the entire proceedings of Criminal Case No.4012 of 2025, pending in the Court of learned 6th Additional Civil Judge (Senior Division)/Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Dehradun on the basis of compromise between the parties. 3. 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. Parties are present before the Court today who have been duly identified by their learned counsel. Parties have already filed the affidavits in support of the compounding application, affirming the factum of compromise arrived at between the parties. 5. It is jointly submitted that all disputes and differences between the parties have been amicably settled and resolved. Furthermore, they are living 2026:UHC:2737 together happily. 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.4012 of 2025, pending in the Court of learned 6th Additional Civil Judge (Senior Division)/Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Dehradun, are hereby quashed. 9. C-528 application stands disposed of. (Alok Mahra, J.) 17.04.2026 Arpan
