Mr. Shariq Khurshid, Advocate for the applicants. Mr. V.S. Pal, A.G.A. for the State of Uttarakhand. Mr. Prince Chauhan, Advocate for respondent no.2. 2. Present C-528 application is filed with the prayer to set-aside/quash the charge sheet dated 12.05.2023, cognizance/summoning order dated 30.05.2023 and the entire proceedings of Criminal Case No.1313 of 2023, pending in the Court of learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Kashipur, District Udham Singh Nagar 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 as well as respondent no.2 joined the proceedings through Video Conferencing, who have been duly identified by their learned counsel. It is further submitted that the respondent no.2 has already filed affidavit in support of the compounding application, affirming the factum of compromise arrived at between the parties. 5. It is jointly submitted by the parties that the dispute inter se them has been amicably settled out of court, and they have mutually resolved all differences arising therefrom. Learned counsel for the applicant further submits that the applicant and respondent no.2 have decided to part ways consensually. Accordingly, they have filed a petition under Section 27 of the U.C.C., before the Family Court. As per the terms of settlement, applicant no.1 has agreed to pay a sum of ₹20,00,000/- to respondent no.2 towards permanent alimony, 2026:UHC:3406 out of which ₹10,00,000/- has already been paid. The remaining amount of ₹10,00,000/- shall be paid to respondent no.2 prior to the second motion. Respondent no.2 has stated that, in view of the amicable settlement between the parties, she does not wish to pursue or prosecute the present proceedings against the applicants. 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 Criminal Case No.1313 of 2023, pending in the Court of learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Kashipur, District Udham Singh Nagar are hereby quashed. 10. C-528 application stands disposed of.
