Mr. Alok Kumar and Mr. Manish Lohani, learned counsel for the Petitioner. 2. Mr. S.C. Dumka, learned A.G.A. for the State of Uttarakhand. 3. Ms. Neha Verma and Ms. Ruchika Negi, learned counsel for the Respondent No.3. 4. The present writ petition has been filed by the Petitioner under Article 226 of the Constitution of India challenging the FIR No.621 of 2025, dated 11.12.2025, under Sections 115,125,190,191(2), 193(3), 281, 351(3), 352 and 109 of BNS, at Police Station Gangnahar, District Haridwar. 5. Parties are present in person before this Court, who are being duly identified by their respective counsel. After interacting with the parties, it seems that the parties do not wish to carry the matter further and have settled their disputes amicably. Considering the overall facts and circumstances of the case, this Court finds that grounds are sufficient for allowing the compounding applications. 6. Learned State Counsel has vehemently opposed the compounding application. 7. Today, the matter is listed for disposal of the Compounding Application (IA No.1/2026) which seeks permission to compound the offence on the ground that the parties have amicably resolved their differences. 8. After interacting with the parties, this Court is satisfied that a genuine compromise has been reached, as evidenced by the vague and inconsistent responses concerning the incident. Furthermore, after speaking with both the Petitioners and the private Respondent, it appears that their statements were made voluntarily and not under any duress or pressure. 9. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, the Compounding Application is allowed. The compromise arrived at between the parties is accepted. Consequently, the FIR No.621 of 2025, dated 11.12.2025, under Sections 115,125,190,191(2), 193(3), 281, 351(3), 352 and 109 of BNS, at Police Station Gangnahar, District Haridwar, is hereby quashed insofar as it relates to the present Petitioner, in terms of the compromise. 10. The Criminal Writ Petition stands disposed of accordingly. 11. All pending applications, if any, also stand disposed of. ( Ash ish Nait h an i, J.) Vacat ion Ju dge 1 6 .0 1 .2 0 2 6 Sukhbant/
