The complainant/respondent No.2 has now no grievance against the present applicant and does not want to pursue the aforesaid criminal proceedings any further. 8. The respondent no.2 has voluntarily compounded the offence with the present applicant without any pressure. 9. A query was made by the Court to the respondent no. 2 / informant, who is appearing through VC and he has stated before the Court that he does not wish to pursue the matter any further and he wants that the matter may be compounded qua the applicant inasmuch as the applicant has already sought forgiveness and whatever misunderstanding was there between the applicant and the respondent no. 2 has been resolved.

Since the matter has already been resolved between the respondent no.2/complainant and the applicant, hence, it will be a futile exercise to let the matter go for trial qua the applicant. 14. Considering the overall facts and circumstances of the case, the Compounding Application (IA No. 1 of 2026) deserves to be allowed. The Compounding Application is accordingly allowed. 15. As a consequence thereof, the entire proceedings of Criminal Case No. 1728 of 2016 "State vs. Rajeev Gupta and others” for the offences punishable under Sections 420, 406 and 506 IPC, registered at Police Station Shyampur, District Haridwar, pending in the Court of learned Judicial Magistrate, First Class, Haridwar as well as impugned charge-sheet dated 28.09.2016 and summoning / cognizance order dated 06.12.2026, qua the present applicant, are hereby quashed. 16.
