2. Present C-528 application is filed with the prayer to set-aside/quash the charge sheet dated 29.01.2021, cognizance/summoning
order dated 29.06.2021 and the entire proceedings of Criminal Case No.3126 of 2021, pending in the Court of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Dehradun 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. Applicant as well as respondent nos.2, 3, 5 & 6 are present before the Court, who are duly identified by their counsel. Respondent no.4 joined the proceedings through Video Conferencing. They have also filed their respective affidavits stating the facts of compromise between them.
5. It is jointly submitted that all disputes and differences between the parties have been amicably settled and
2026:UHC:3140 resolved.
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.3126 of 2021, pending in the Court of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Dehradun, are hereby quashed.
9. C-528 application stands disposed of.
