Mr. Gaurav Singh, Advocate for the applicant. Mr. Prabhat Kandpal, A.G.A. for the State of Uttarakhand. Mr. Susheel Kumar, Advocate for respondent no.2. 2. Present C-528 application is filed with the prayer to set-aside/ quash the charge sheet dated 01.08.2023, cognizance/ summoning order dated 05.09.2023 and the entire proceedings of Criminal Case No.19736 of 2023, pending in the Court of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, 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. Applicant no.1 as well as respondent no.2 joined the proceedings through Video Conferencing, who have been duly identified by their learned counsel. It is further submitted that the respondent no.2 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 by the parties that the dispute inter se them has been amicably settled out of court, and they have mutually resolved all differences 2026:UHC:3678 arising therefrom. Learned counsel for the applicant further submits that the applicant no.1 and respondent no.2 have decided to part ways consensually. Accordingly, they have filed a petition under Section 27 of the U.C.C., before the Family Court. Respondent no.2 has stated that, in view of the amicable settlement between the parties, she does not wish to pursue or prosecute the present proceedings against the applicants. 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.19736 of 2023, pending in the Court of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Haridwar, are hereby quashed. 9. C-528 application stands disposed of.
