Hon’ble Rakesh Thapliyal, J.

1. Mr. Shariq Khurshid, learned counsel

for the petitioners.

2. Mrs. Meenakshi Sharma and Mr.

Himanshu Sain, learned A.G.A. for the State.

3. Mr. Prince Chauhan, learned counsel

for the complainant.

4. The instant petition has been moved by

the petitioners for quashing of first

information report dated 26.09.2025 bearing

FIR No. 0324 of 2025, P.S. Kunda District

Udham Singh Nagar wherein the petitioners

have been implicated for the offences

punishable under Sections 420 and 504 of

IPC.

5. The writ petition is supported with the

compounding application and the affidavit of

the petitioners and respondent no.3 wherein

it is contended that they have settled their

disputes and the name of

respondent/complainant has already been

recorded in the revenue record and the

construction has already been started. The

petitioners and the respondent

no.3/complainant are present in Court and

are identified by their respective counsels.

7. This Court also interacted with the

complainant who submits that she does not

want to pursue the complaint and requested

that proceedings pursuant to the impugned

FIR be quashed.

8. On the other side, Mrs. Meenakshi

Sharma, the learned A.G.A. submits that both

the offences are compoundable, and since

they settled their disputes which prima facie

appears to be of civil in nature and the

complainant does not want to pursue the

impugned FIR, therefore there is no useful

purpose to go with the investigation.

9. In such view of the matter, when the

parties have settled their disputes and both

the offences are compoundable, this Court is

of the view that the compounding

application as well as writ petition deserves

to be allowed.

10. Accordingly, the writ petition as well

as the compounding application are allowed

and the impugned first information report

dated 26.09.2025 bearing FIR No. 0324 of

2025, P.S. Kunda District Udham Singh

Nagar is hereby quashed.
