Heard Mr. Pankaj Kumar Sharma, learned counsel for the revisionists, Mr. Vipul Painuly, learned A.G.A. for the State and Mr. Aakib Ahmad, learned counsel for respondent no. 2. 2. The present criminal revision is filed with the prayer to set-aside/quash the judgment and order dated 01.05.2024 passed by Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate/Additional Civil Judge (SD), Roorkee, District Haridwar in Criminal Case No. 134 of 2020, State Vs. Rajendra and Others. Prayer is also made to set aside the judgment and order dated 07.01.2026 passed by 1st Additional Session Judge, Roorkee, District Haridwar in Criminal Appeal No. 47 of 2024, Rajendra and Others Vs. State. 3. Compounding application (IA/4/2026) is also filed in the matter wherein it is prayed to compound the offence between the parties under Sections 323, 325 and 506 of IPC. 4. Learned counsel for the revisionists submits that the parties have amicably settled their dispute and have entered into a compromise. 5. Parties are present before this Court and are duly identified by their respective counsel. Parties have also filed their respective affidavits stating the facts of compromise between them. 6. Learned State Counsel has formerly objected to 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 (IA/4/2026) is allowed. The offences between the parties are permitted to be compounded. Accordingly, the judgment and order dated 01.05.2024 passed by Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate/Additional Civil Judge (SD), Roorkee, District Haridwar in Criminal Case No. 134 of 2020, State Vs. Rajendra and Others; also the judgment and order dated 07.01.2026 passed by 1st Additional Session Judge, Roorkee, District Haridwar in Criminal Appeal No. 47 of 2024, Rajendra and Others Vs. State and the entire proceedings arising out therefrom are hereby quashed qua the revisionists. 9. FIR and charge-sheet filed pursuant thereto also stand quashed. 10. The present criminal revision stands disposed of in the aforesaid terms. (Alok Mahra J.) Vacation Judge 21.01.2026 Ujjwal
