Considering the entire facts, compromise, and in the light of the abovementioned facts, I believe that continuing proceeding will not suffice any fruitful purpose whatsoever. In the facts and circumstances peculiar to this case, the Court invokes the inherent jurisdiction under section 482 CrPC and quashes the order dated 31.03.2021 annexure P-3 and all subsequent proceedings arising out of the same qua the petitioner(s).All pending application(s), if any, stand closed. Petition allowed to the extent above All pending applications, if any, stand disposed. (ANOOP CHITKARA) JUDGE 14.11.2022 sonia arora Whether speaking/reasoned:
