5.

Learned State counsel states that no other FIR has been registered against the petitioner and he has no known criminal antecedents. 6.

In that view of the matter, even if this case is taken to its logical conclusion, it would only be an exercise in futility as the parties have already settled their differences. Therefore, no purpose would be served in wasting the time and resources of the State in pursuing this case to its pre-ordained end. It would, therefore, be better to give a quietus to the issue at this stage. 7.

Accordingly, the petition is allowed and FIR No.131 dated 11.08.2023 for the offence punishable under Sections 323, 325, 148, 149, 506 of IPC, 1860 registered at Police Station Sardulgarh, District Mansa, and all other consequential proceedings arising therefrom shall stand quashed.
