Present C-528 application is filed with the prayer to set-aside/quash the charge sheet dated 17.01.2025, cognizance/summoning order dated 19.09.2025 and the entire proceedings of Criminal Case No.933 of 2025, pending in the Court of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Pithoragarh 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. Applicants and respondent nos.3 & 4 joined the proceedings through Video Conferencing, who have been duly identified by their learned counsel. It is submitted that parties have already filed 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. 2026:UHC:3188 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.933 of 2025, pending in the Court of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Pithoragarh, are hereby quashed. 9. C-528 application stands disposed of.
