Ms. Disha Vashistha, learned counsel for the applicant. 2. Mr. S.C. Dumka, learned A.G.A. for the State. 3. Ms. Devanshi Joshi, learned counsel for respondent no. 3. 4. Present C-528 application is filed with the prayer to set-aside/quash the cognizance order dated 16.04.2022 as well as the entire proceedings of Criminal Case No. 498 of 2022, State of Uttarakhand Vs. Surendra Kumar Sharma and Others, under Sections 323, 504 and 506 of IPC, pending in the court of learned Judicial Magistrate II, Roorkee, District Haridwar, on the basis of compromise between the parties. 5. Compounding application (IA/1/2026) is also filed in the matter wherein it is prayed to compound the offence between the parties under Sections 323, 504 and 506 of IPC. 6. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the parties have amicably settled their dispute and have entered into a compromise. 7. Parties are virtually 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. 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 (IA/1/2026) is allowed. The offences between the parties are permitted to be compounded. As a result, the entire proceedings of Criminal Case No. 498 of 2022, State of Uttarakhand Vs. Surendra Kumar Sharma and Others, under Sections 323, 504 and 506 of IPC, pending in the court of learned Judicial Magistrate II, Roorkee, District Haridwar, are hereby quashed qua the applicant. FIR and charge-sheet filed pursuant thereto stand quashed. 10. C-528 application stands disposed of in the aforesaid terms. (Alok Mahra J.) 18.02.2026 Ujjwal
