   H.S. Grewal, J.(Oral) 1.

The present petition has been filed under Section 528 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (for short-'BNSS') for quashing FIR No. 60 dated 30.07.2019 under Sections 342,34,506,120-B of IPC and Section 3(1) (vii) of SC and ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989 (added Section 3(1) (0), 0(1) (s) read with 3(2) (va) of SC and ST Act registered at Police Station Sandaur District Malerkotla Sangrur along with all the consequential proceedings arising therefrom on the basis of compromise deed. 2.

Learned State counsel states that no other FIR has been registered against the petitioners and they have no known criminal antecedents. 4.

Learned counsel for respondent No.2 confirms the factum of the compromise having been effected between the parties and states that respondent No. 2 has no objection to the quashing of the FIR in question. Renu Rawat 2025.12.05 10.27 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document

 5.

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. 6.

Accordingly, the petition is allowed and FIR No. 60 dated 30.07.2019 under Sections 342,34,506,120-B of IPC and Section 3(1) (vii) of SC and ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989 (added Section 3(1) (0), 0(1) (s) read with 3(2) (va) of SC and ST Act registered at Police Station Sandaur District Malerkotla Sangrur and all the subsequent proceedings arising therefrom shall stand quashed qua the petitioners on the basis of compromise subject to payment of Rs. 10,000/- as costs in the Punjab State Legal Services Authority Disaster Relief Fund bearing Account No. 44426937384 IFSC Code SBIN0014656 Banch Name Sector 68 SAS Nagar, Mohali. 7.
