CRM-M-20048-2025 (O&M) -23.

Mr. Gautam Thapar, Sr. DAG, Punjab accepts notice on behalf of the respondent-State. Learned State counsel states that no other FIR has been registered against the petitioners and they have no known criminal antecedents. 4.

Mr. Sidhant Bhonsle, Advocate appears and accepts notice on behalf of respondent No. 2. He confirms the factum of the compromise having been effected between the parties and states that he has no objection to the quashing of the FIR in question.

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. 234 dated 24.09.2019 under Section 379-B, 411 IPC registered at Police Station Division No.6 Ludhiana and subsequent proceedings arising out of the same in lieu of the affidavit dated 02.04.2025 (P-2) executed by respondent No. 2 stating therein that compromise has been affected shall stand quashed qua the petitioners subject to payment of Rs.5,000/- each as costs to be paid to the High Court Civil Dispensary. 7.

Pending application(s), if any, shall also stand disposed of. (H.S.GREWAL) JUDGE 05.08.2025 renu Whether speaking/reasoned :
