Mr. Gaurav Kandpal and Mr. Varun Agarwal, learned counsel for the applicants. 2. Ms. Pushpa Bhatt, learned D.A.G. alongwith Mr. Prabhat Kandpal, learned A.G.A. for the State. 3. Mr. Tajhar Qayyum, learned counsel for respondent no. 2/complainant. 4. The present criminal misc. application is filed with a prayer to set-aside the chargesheet, summoning/cognizance order as well as the entire proceedings of Criminal Case No. 3921 of 2025, pending in the court of learned ACJM-I, District Dehradun, on the basis of compromise between the parties. 5. In this case, an FIR was lodged by the complainant under Sections 3/4 of Dowry Prohibition Act and Section 498-A, 294, 323, 354 and 504 of IPC. After investigation, chargesheet was also filed in the matter. 6. Now, parties have entered into an agreement and they have settled their grievances. They are present before this Court through video conferencing and are duly identified by their respective counsels. Respondent no. 2 submits that she does not want to proceed with the case as they have mutually agreed to separate pursuant to which first motion has been moved under Section 27 of UCC and it has been agreed between them that applicant no. 1 would pay Rs. 10.5 Lakhs to the complainant as permanent alimony. Parties have also filed their respective affidavits stating the facts of compromise between them. Applicant no. 1 has submitted that today he is handing over Rs. 10.5 Lakhs in cash to the complainant. 7. Compounding application is also filed in the matter wherein it is prayed to compound the offence between the parties. 8. Learned counsel for the applicants submits that the parties have amicably settled their dispute and have entered into a compromise. 9. Learned State Counsel raised a preliminary objection to the effect that the offences sought to be compounded are non-compoundable. 10. However, the Hon’ble Apex Court in the case of B.S. Joshi and others Vs. State of Haryana reported in (2003) 4 S.C.C., Page 675, has permitted compounding of non-compoundable offences with the permission of Court, especially in matrimonial disputes. 11. Furthermore, 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. 12. Following the aforesaid ratio, present compounding application is allowed. The offences between the parties are permitted to be compounded. As a result, the entire proceedings of Criminal Case No. 3921 of 2025, pending in the court of learned ACJM-I, District Dehradun, are hereby quashed qua the applicants. FIR and charge-sheet filed pursuant thereto stand quashed. 13. C-528 application stands disposed of in the aforesaid terms. (Alok Mahra J.) 03.06.2026 Ujjwal
