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.
6. It is contended in the compounding

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.
