This petition has been filed seeking to quash the impugned FIR in Crime No.743 of 2015 on the file of the 1st respondent police. 2.The contention of the petitioners is that based on the complaint lodged by the 2nd respondent, the 1st respondent registered the First Information Report in Crime No.743 of 2015 for the offences punishable under Sections 294(b), 324, 506(ii) of IPC, against the petitioners. 3.The further contention of the petitioners is that they compromised the issue with the 2nd respondent amicably.

They were also identified by the learned Government Advocate (Crl. side) and the Investigation Officer. Both the parties were enquired by me and they accepted the terms of compromise. Hence, the Compromise Memo is recorded.

6. Considering the totality of the circumstances, the nature of the allegations levelled against the petitioners and also in view of the joint compromise memo, dated 26.06.2023, this Court is of the opinion that no useful purpose will be served by keeping the matter pending and inclined to quash all further proceedings in Crime No.743 of 2015 pending on the file of the 1st respondent police in respect of this petitioners. 3/5
