2026:UHC:4465 SL. No. Date Office Notes, reports, orders or proceedings or directions and Registrar’s order with Signatures COURT’S OR JUDGE’S ORDERS C528 No.1133 of 2026 Hon’ble Alok Mahra, J. Mr. Gaurav Paliwal, Advocate for the applicants. Mr. Deepak Bisht, Deputy Advocate General for the State of Uttarakhand. Mr. Nalin Saun, Advocate for respondent no.2. 2. Present C-528 application is filed with the prayer to set-aside/quash the charge sheet dated 20.04.2018 cognizance/summoning order dated 09.08.2018 and the entire proceedings of Criminal Case No.3808 of 2018, pending in the Court of learned Ist Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Dehradun on the basis of compromise between the parties. 3. An F.I.R. came to be lodged by the mother of respondent no.2 against the applicants alleging, inter alia, that on 31.01.2018, the applicants unlawfully entered her residence, abused her in filthy language and extended threats, stating that she should restrain her son, failing which he would be shot. It was further alleged that the applicants also intimidated and threatened her daughter-in-law. Pursuant to the registration of the F.I.R., the matter was investigated by the police and, upon completion of investigation, a charge- sheet was submitted against the applicants before the competent court. It is further borne out from the record that during the pendency of the proceedings, the original complainant expired. 2026:UHC:4465 Consequently, her son, being her legal heir and an interested party in the proceedings, has been impleaded and arrayed as respondent no.2. 4. Compounding application (I.A. No.1 of 2026) has been filed in the matter wherein it is prayed to compound the offence between the parties. 5. Applicants as well as respondent no.2 are present in Court today, 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. 6. It is jointly submitted by the parties that the disputes inter se them have been amicably settled outside the Court. Respondent no.2 has categorically stated that, in view of the amicable settlement arrived at between the parties, he does not wish to pursue or prosecute the present proceedings against the applicants any further. 7. 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, 2026:UHC:4465 present compounding application is allowed. The offences between the parties are permitted to be compounded. As a result, entire proceedings of Criminal Case No.3808 of 2018, pending in the Court of learned Ist Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Dehradun, are hereby quashed. 10. C-528 application stands disposed of.
