Mr. Asmit Chandola, Advocate, holding brief of Mr. Shubhang Dobhal, Advocate for the applicants. Mr. Rakesh Kumar Joshi, A.G.A. for the State of Uttarakhand. Mr. Shakti Saurabh Purohit, Advocate, holding brief of Mr. Sandeep Kothari, Advocate for respondent no.2. 2. Present C-528 application is filed with the prayer to set-aside/quash the charge sheet dated 29.08.2019, cognizance order dated 24.02.2021 and the entire proceedings of Criminal Case No.2815 of 2021, 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.3 of 2025) 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 via video conferencing, who are duly identified by their learned counsel. Both parties have filed affidavits affirming the compromise entered into between them. 5. It is jointly submitted by the parties that the dispute between them has been amicably settled and they have resolved all their differences. 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 2026:UHC:2270 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.2815 of 2021, pending in the Court of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Haridwar, are hereby quashed. 9. C-528 application stands disposed of.
