2. Present C-528 application is filed with the prayer to set-aside/quash the summoning order dated 06.07.2021 and the entire proceedings of Criminal Case No. 650 of 2021, pending in the Court of learned Judicial Magistrate, Sitarganj, District Udham Singh Nagar on the basis of compromise between the parties.

3. Compounding application (IA/1/2025) is also filed in the matter wherein it is prayed to compound the offence between the parties.

4. Parties are present before this Court and are duly identified by their respective counsel. Parties 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. Hon'ble Supreme Court, in a catena of its judgments, has observed that in cases 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.

2025:UHC:9824

7. Following the aforesaid ratio, present compounding application (IA/1/2025) is allowed. The offences between the parties are permitted to be compounded. As a result, entire proceedings of Criminal Case No. 650 of 2021, pending in the Court of learned Judicial Magistrate, Sitarganj, District Udham Singh Nagar, are hereby quashed.

8. C-528 application stands disposed of.
