**** H.S. GREWAL, J. (ORAL)  CRM-10828-2025 Allowed as prayed for and Annexures P-4 (compromise deed and original Affidavit) and P-5 (copy of challan) are taken on record. Main case 1.

CRM-M-11027-2025 (O&M) -2-     3.

Ms. Ankita Ahuja, AAG, Haryana, accepts notice on behalf of the respondent-State whereas Ms. Mehtab Kamboj, Advocate has put in appearance by way of filing vakalatnama on behalf of respondent No.2. 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. 5.

Learned State counsel has stated no objection in case the FIR is quashed based upon the compromise. He further states that the petitioner has no criminal antecedents.

6.

In view of the above, 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.113 dated 29.04.2024 for the offence punishable under Sections 148, 149, 307, 506 IPC, 1860 and Sections 25, 54, 59 of Arms Act(Sections 148, 149, 307 IPC deleted and Section 285, 201, 34 IPC, 1860 added) registered at Police Station Sadar Pehowa, District Kurukshetra, Haryana, and all other consequential proceedings arising therefrom shall stand quashed.
