CRM-M-15616-2025(O&M) -2based upon the compromise. 6.

I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the material placed on record.

8.

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. 9.

Accordingly, the petition is allowed and FIR No.31 dated 03.06.2023 for offence punishable under Sections 379, 411 IPC, 1860 registered at Police Station Sector 19, Chandigarh alongwith all consequential proceedings arising therefrom are hereby, quashed qua the petitioner. 10.

Needless to say that the parties shall remain bound by the terms of compromise.
