Compounding application (I.A. No.1 of 2026) is filed in the matter, wherein it is prayed to compound the offence between the parties. 4. The parties appeared before this Court and were duly identified by their respective counsel. It is submitted that the parties have amicably resolved all disputes between them. Respondent No. 3 has stated that the F.I.R. in question was registered owing to a misunderstanding, precipitated by certain altercations wherein the applicant had reprimanded her. 5. It is jointly submitted by the parties that they have settled their scores. 6. Learned State Counsel vehemently opposed the compounding application. 2026:UHC:1398 7. Upon a careful appreciation of the statements of the witnesses, this Court is of the opinion that the ingredients of Section 75(1)(i) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, read with Sections 9(f) and 10 of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, 2012, are not established on the basis of the material placed on record. 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 entire proceedings of Special Sessions Trial No.60 of 2024, pending in the Court of learned Special Sessions Judge, Champawat, are hereby quashed. 9. C-528 application stands disposed of.
