Pan Singh, under Sections 279, 304A, 338 and 427 of IPC, pending in the court of learned Civil Judge/ Judicial Magistrate, Haldwani, District Nainital. 5. Now, Compounding Application is filed in the matter wherein it is prayed to compound the offences between the parties under Sections 279, 304A, 338 and 427 of IPC. 6. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that even as per the prosecution story, there was no ill-will intention on the part of the applicant. It is further submitted that now the parties have amicably settled their dispute and have entered into a compromise. 7. Parties are present before this Court and are duly identified by their respective counsels. Parties have also filed their respective affidavits stating the facts of compromise between them. 8. The Court interacted with the parties. Upon interaction, respondent no. 2 submits he has amicably settled his dispute with the applicant and he does not want to pursue with the criminal proceedings against the applicant. 9. At this stage, learned State Counsel raised a preliminary objection to the effect that the offences sought to be compounded are non- compoundable. 10. However, the Hon’ble Apex Court in the case of B.S. Joshi and others Vs. State of Haryana reported in (2003) 4 S.C.C., Page 675, has permitted compounding of non- compoundable offences with the permission of Court. 11. Furthermore, 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. 12. Following the aforesaid ratio, the present compounding application is allowed. The offences between the parties are permitted to be compounded. As a result, the entire proceedings of Criminal Case No. 5332 of 2022, State Vs. Pan Singh, under Sections 279, 304A, 338 and 427 of I PC, pending in the court of learned Civil Judge/ Judicial Magistrate, Haldwani, District Nainital, are hereby quashed qua the applicant. FIR and charge-sheet filed pursuant thereto stand quashed. 13. Accordingly, the present criminal misc. application stands disposed of in the aforesaid terms. ( Alok Mah r a J.) 24.04.2026 Ujjwal
