Mr. Abhishek Joshi, Advocate for the applicants. Mr. V.S. Pal, A.G.A. for the State of Uttarakhand. Mr. Shivam Gulati, Advocate for respondent nos.2 & 3. 2. Present C-528 application is filed with the prayer to set-aside/ quash the charge sheet dated 18.10.2025, cognizance/ summoning order dated 28.10.2025 and the entire proceedings of Sessions Trial No.168 of 2025, pending in the Court of learned IIIrd Additional Sessions Judge, Haridwar 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. It is reported that applicants are in jail. Smt. Chandarawati, who has been authorized by the applicants to file the compounding application, appeared before this Court, who is duly identified by applicants’ counsel. Respondent nos.2 & 3 are also present before this Court, who are duly identified by their respective counsel. They have also filed their respective affidavits stating the facts of compromise between them. 5. Learned counsel for the applicants submits that no offence under Section 109 B.N.S. is made out against the 2026:UHC:1597 applicants. The injuries sustained are simple in nature and not grievous, as corroborated by the supplementary medical report, which stands taken on record. 6. It is jointly submitted by the parties that they have settled their scores. 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 Sessions Trial No.168 of 2025, pending in the Court of learned IIIrd Additional Sessions Judge, Haridwar, are hereby quashed. Liberty is granted to the applicants, who are in jail, to approach the Magistrate concerned for obtaining the order for their release. 10. C-528 application stands disposed of.
