2026:UHC:3071 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.681 of 2025 Hon’ble Alok Mahra, J. Ms. Radha Arya, Advocate for the applicant. Mr. S.C. Dumka, A.G.A. for the State of Uttarakhand. Mr. Devendra S. Bargali, Advocate for respondent nos.2 & 3. 2. Present C-528 application is filed with the prayer to set-aside/quash the charge sheet dated 02.05.2016, cognizance/summoning order dated 07.05.2016 and the entire proceedings of S.S.T. No.56 of 2016, pending in the Court of learned F.T.C./Additional Sessions Judge/Special Judge (POCSO) Act, Rudrapur, District Udham Singh Nagar 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. Applicants are present before the Court today and have been duly identified by their learned counsel. Respondent no.3 joined the proceedings through V.C., who is duly identified by her 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 2026:UHC:3071 parties have been amicably settled and 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 S.S.T. No.56 of 2016, pending in the Court of learned F.T.C./Additional Sessions Judge/ Special Judge (POCSO) Act, Rudrapur, District Udham Singh Nagar, are hereby quashed. 9. C-528 application stands disposed of.
