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.170 of 2019, pending in the Court of learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Ramnagar, District Nainital, are hereby quashed. 10. C-528 application stands disposed of.
