Sumit, under Sections 69 and 77 of BNS and Section 67(A) of I.T. Act, pending in the court of learned Judicial Magistrate I, Roorkee, District Haridwar. Prayer has also been made to quash the entire proceeding of Session Trial No. 37 of 2025, State Vs. Sumit, under Sections 69 and 77 of BNS and Section 67(A) of I.T. Act, pending in the court of learned Additional District Judge/ FTSC, Roorkee, District Haridwar, on the basis of compromise between the parties. 5. In the present case, FIR was lodged on 19.01.2025, wherein, it is alleged that the applicant, on the false pretext of marriage, made physical relations with the complainant and also threatened her that he has obscene videos of her and he would make it viral and defame the complainant. 6. Now, a Compounding application (IA/ 1/ 2025) has been filed in the matter wherein it is prayed to compound the offence between the parties under Sections under Sections 69 and 77 of BNS and Section 67(A) of I.T. Act. 7. Learned counsel for the applicants submits that the parties have amicably settled their dispute and have entered into a compromise. It is further submitted that the parties have solemnized their marriage on 23.11.2025, which was got registered in UCC. Marriage Registration Certification dated 07.12.2025 is also enclosed alongwith the compounding application. 8. 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. 9. 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. 10. Following the aforesaid ratio, present compounding application made is allowed. The offences between the parties are permitted to be compounded. As a result, the entire proceedings of Criminal Case No. 250 of 2025, State Vs. Sumit, under Sections 69 and 77 of BNS and Section 67(A) of I.T. Act, pending in the court of learned Judicial Magistrate I, Roorkee, District Haridwar and also the entire proceeding of Session Trial No. 37 of 2025, State Vs.
