compromise between the parties.

compromise arrived at between the parties.

4. Parties joined the proceedings via video conferencing, who are duly identified by their learned counsel. Both parties have filed affidavits affirming the compromise

entered into between them.

5. It is jointly submitted by the parties that the dispute between them has been amicably settled and they have resolved all

their differences.

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

2026:UHC:2270 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 is allowed. The offences between the parties are permitted to be compounded. As a result, entire proceedings of Criminal Case No.17650 of 2019, pending in the Court of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Haridwar, are hereby

quashed.

9. C-528 application stands disposed of.
