CRM-12412-2025 Allowed as prayed for and Annexure R-2 is taken on record. Main case 1.

CRM-M-15677-2025 (O&M) -2- 3.
Ms. Ankita Ahuja, AAG, Haryana, accepts notice on behalf of the respondent-State whereas Mr. Gautam Kumar, Advocate puts in appearance on behalf of the respondents by way of filing of Power of Attorney. 4.
Learned counsel for the respondents confirms the factum of the compromise having been effected between the parties and states that the respondents have 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 and has further stated that the petitioners have 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.65 dated 08.02.2025 for the offence punishable under Sections 370, 406, 420, 34 IPC and under Sections 10 and 24 of Immigration Act, 1924 registered at Police Station Kurukshetra University, Kurukshetra, District Kurukshetra and all other consequential proceedings arising therefrom shall stand quashed. 8.
Needless to say that the parties shall remain bound by the terms of compromise and their statements recorded before the Court below. (H.S. GREWAL) 03.04.2025 JUDGE Sonia Puri Whether speaking/ reasoned :
