Ms. Reema Rana, learned counsel for the applicants. 2. Mr. Deepak Bisht, learned D.A.G. for the State. 3. Mr. Abhishek Joshi, learned counsel for respondent nos. 2, 3 and 4. 4. Present C-528 application is filed with the prayer to set-aside/quash the chargesheet dated 03.07.2021, summoning order dated 08.03.2022 well as the entire proceedings of Criminal Case No. 872 of 2022, under Sections 147, 323 and 504 of IPC, pending in the court of learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Haldwani, on the basis of compromise between the parties. 5. The present case is a case of cross FIRs. Earlier, the applicants lodged an FIR on 01.05.2021 against the respondent no. 2 and seven other persons for the offences punishable under Sections 147, 323, 352 and 506 of IPC, on the basis of which, a Case Crime No. 0108 of 2021 was registered at P.S.- Kathgodam, District Nainital. It is submitted that both the parties have entered into a compromise and have agreed to withdraw all the pending cases filed against each other. 6. Compounding application (IA/1/2026) is also filed in the matter wherein it is prayed to compound the offence between the parties under Section 147, 323 and 504 of IPC. 7. Learned counsel for the applicants submits that the parties have amicably settled their dispute and have entered into a compromise. 8. Parties are 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. 9. 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. 10. 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. 872 of 2022, under Sections 147, 323 and 504 of IPC, pending in the court of learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Haldwani, are hereby quashed qua the applicants. FIR and charge- sheet filed pursuant thereto stand quashed. 11. C-528 application stands disposed of in the aforesaid terms. (Alok Mahra J.) 16.02.2026 Ujjwal
