2026:UHC:2941 SL. No. Date Office Notes, reports, orders or proceedings or directions and Registrar’s order with Signatures COURT’S OR JUDGE’S ORDERS C528 No.777 of 2026 Hon’ble Alok Mahra, J. Mr. Narendra Bali, Advocate for the applicants. Mr. Manoj Bhatt, Brief Holder 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 17.10.2019, summoning/ cognizance order dated 10.01.2020 and the entire proceedings of Criminal Case No.662 of 2020, pending in the Court of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Haridwar on the basis of compromise between the parties. 3. A compounding application (I.A. No.1 of 2026) has also been filed in the present matter praying that the offences be permitted to be compounded in view of the compromise arrived at 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 jointly submitted by the parties that the dispute inter se them has been amicably settled out of court, and they have mutually resolved all differences arising therefrom. Learned counsel for the applicant further submits that the parties have decided to part ways consensually. Accordingly, they have filed a petition under Section 13B of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, before the Family Court, wherein the first motion has already been granted. The respondent no.2 has no intention to 2026:UHC:2941 prosecute the applicants in the present proceedings. 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.662 of 2020, pending in the Court of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Haridwar, are hereby quashed. 9. C-528 application stands disposed of.
