10.
Keeping in view the fact that the matter stands amicably settled between the petitioners and respondent no. 2 without any pressure, no fruitful purpose would be served by keeping the matter pending. 11.
In view of the fact that the parties are residents of same locality and known to each other from many years and they have arrived at a settlement, no useful purpose will be served in continuing the proceedings, rather the same would create further acrimony between them. 12.
It is, thus, in the interest of justice to quash the afore-mentioned FIR and the proceedings emanating therefrom.
13.
Hence, in light of the judgment of the Hon‟ble Supreme Court passed in Gian Singh vs. State of Punjab (2012) 10 SCC 303, FIR No. 0309/2018 registered at Police Station Chhawala for the offences punishable under Sections 324/34 of the IPC, and consequent proceedings emanating therefrom, are quashed qua the present petitioner. 14.
