Subzi Mandi, under Sections 279/337 of IPC, basis settlement arrived at between the parties, as per which compensation of Rs.35,000/- was due to respondent No.2 (Rs.18,000/- through UPI Transaction ID 434256823380 on 7th December, 2024 and Rs.17,000/- through UPI Transaction ID 435365954927 on 18th December, 2024).

the IO and respective counsel.

4.

Respondent No.2 states that he has no objection to the quashing of FIR and has also provided an affidavit of No Objection in that regard. 5.

Considering the above settlement between the parties and the chances of conviction of the petitioners being remote and bleak, there is no use continuing with proceedings of the present FIR as it would be a misuse of the process of the Court and an unnecessary burden on the State exchequer. 6.

Accordingly, the petition is allowed. Consequently, the FIR No.148/2020 dated 16th May, 2020 registered at P.S. Subzi Mandi, under Sections 279/337 of IPC and proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed. 7.

Parties shall abide by the terms of settlement. 8.

Accordingly, the petition is disposed of. Pending application is disposed of as infructuous.
