Present C-528 application is filed with the prayer to set-aside/ quash the charge sheet dated 16.04.2026, cognizance/ summoning order dated 07.05.2026 and the entire proceedings of Criminal Case No.1243 of 2026, pending in the Court of learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Kotdwar, Pauri Garhwal Nagar 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. Applicant as well as respondent nos.2 to 6 are present before the Court today and have been duly identified by their learned counsel. It is further submitted that the complainant has already filed affidavit in support of the compounding application, affirming the factum of compromise arrived at between the parties. 5. It is jointly submitted that all disputes and differences between the parties have been amicably settled and 2026:UHC:3898 resolved. 6. Learned State Counsel vehemently opposed the compounding application. 7. 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. 8. 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.1243 of 2026, pending in the Court of learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Kotdwar, Pauri Garhwal Nagar, are hereby quashed, qua the applicant. 9. C-528 application stands disposed of.
