CRM-M-26583-2025 -2between the parties and states that respondent No. 2 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.0167 dated 18.08.2024 under Sections 143(2), 61(2) and 62 of BNS (Section 143(4) of BNS added later on) registered at Police Station City Rupnagar, District Rupnagar and all the subsequent proceedings arising therefrom, on the basis of compromise dated 05.05.2025 (Annexure P-2) shall stand quashed qua the petitioners.

7.

Pending applications, if any, shall also be disposed of. (H.S.GREWAL) JUDGE 16.05.2025 renu Whether speaking/reasoned :
