3. The case is still at the stage of investigation. By passage of time, the parties have decided to bury their hatchet and compromise the dispute amicably among themselves.
4. Today the petitioners and the 2nd respondent appeared before this Court and their identities were confirmed by the 1st respondent Police. This Court also enquired both the parties and was satisfied that the parties have come to an amicable settlement between themselves. The petitioners and the 2nd respondent have filed separate affidavit before this Court and also filed the Joint Compromise Memo.
5. Under such circumstances, no useful purpose will be served in keeping the First Information Report pending, even though, the offences involved are not compoundable in nature.

State of Gujrath), and after exercising due caution as advised by the Hon'ble Suprme Court in The State of Madhya Pradesh v. Dhruv Gurjar and Another reported in (2019) 2 MLJ Crl 10), this Court in exercise of its jurisdiction under Section 482 Page No.3 of 5
Cr.P.C., quashes the First Information Report on the file of the 1st respondent Police.
6. This Criminal Original Petition stands allowed and as a sequel, the investigation in Crime No.9 of 2024, on the file of the 1st respondent police, is quashed.
