CRM-M-24132-2025 (O&M) -24.

Ms. Kirandeep Kaur, Advocate appears and accepts notice on behalf of respondent Nos. 2 and 3. She confirms the factum of the compromise having been effected between the parties and states that she 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. 156 dated 27.08.2022 under Sections 308,341,323,34 (Section 325 of IPC added later on) registered at Police Station Bhikhi, District Mansa and all the subsequent proceedings arising out on the basis of compromise dated 29.09.2022 (Annexure P-2) subject to payment of Rs.5,000/- as costs to be paid to the High Court Legal Services Committee.

7.

Pending application(s), if any, shall also stand disposed of. (H.S.GREWAL) JUDGE 31.07.2025 renu Whether speaking/reasoned :
