Present C-528 application is filed with the prayer to set-aside/quash the cognizance/summoning order dated 03.08.2024 and the entire proceedings of Criminal Misc.

No.1 of 2026) is also filed in the matter wherein it is prayed to compound the offence between the parties. 4. Parties are also present before this Court, who are duly identified by their respective counsel. They have also filed their respective affidavits stating the facts of compromise between them. 5. It is jointly submitted by the parties that they have settled their scores. 6. Learned State Counsel vehemently opposed the compounding application. 7. Hon’ble Supreme Court, in a catena of its judgments, has observed that in cases where because of the compromise 2026:UHC:2509 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 is allowed. The offences between the parties are permitted to be compounded. As a result, entire proceedings of Criminal Misc. Case No.2637 of 2023, pending in the Court of learned Judicial Magistrate, Rudrapur, District Udham Singh Nagar, are hereby quashed. 9. C-528 application stands disposed of.
