2026:UHC:3394 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.650 of 2026 Hon’ble Alok Mahra, J. Mr. Gaurav Kandpal, Advocate for the applicant. Mr. V.S. Pal, A.G.A. for the State of Uttarakhand. Ms. Aashna Parashar, Advocate for respondent no.2. 2. Present C-528 application is filed with the prayer to set-aside/quash the charge sheet dated 13.07.2025, cognizance/summoning order dated 22.08.2025 and the entire proceedings of Inquiry No.24 of 2025, pending before learned Juvenile Justice Board, Haldwani, Nainital, on the basis of compromise between the parties. 3. An F.I.R. was lodged by respondent no. 2 alleging therein that her minor daughter was unwell and was taken for medical examination. Upon conducting an ultrasound, it was revealed that she was approximately 13 weeks pregnant. When the complainant inquired about the said pregnancy from her daughter, she disclosed the name of the applicant and stated that she was in a consensual relationship with him for the past two years and that they were in love with each other. 4. Compounding application (I.A. No.2 of 2022) is also filed in the matter wherein it is prayed to compound the offence between the parties. The statements of the victim and the complainant have already been recorded as P.W.1 and P.W.2 respectively, wherein both of them have categorically denied the allegations made in the F.I.R. as well as the statements earlier given under Section 180 of the B.N.S.S. 5. Parties are present in Court today, 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 2026:UHC:3394 of compromise arrived at between the parties. Respondent no.2 submits that the victim has attained the age of majority and, due to some misunderstanding, the F.I.R. was lodged. 6. It is jointly submitted that all disputes and differences between the parties have been amicably settled and resolved. 7. Learned State Counsel vehemently opposed the compounding application. 8. 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. 9. 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 Inquiry No.24 of 2025, pending before learned Juvenile Justice Board, Haldwani, Nainital, are hereby quashed. 10. C-528 application stands disposed of.
