Grewal, J.(Oral) CRM-24906-2025 This application has been filed for placing on record the affidavit of complainant in support of the compromise as Annexure P-5. Allowed as prayed for and affidavit of complainant in support of the compromise as Annexure P-5 is ordered to be taken on record.

CRM-M-29671-2025(O&M) -22.

Notice of motion.

3.

Mr. Kamalpreet Bawa, 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. Piyush Setia, Advocate appears and accepts notice on behalf of respondent Nos.2 to 7. He has filed his Vakalatnama in the Court today and the same is taken on record. He confirms the factum of the compromise having been effected between the parties and states that respondent Nos. 2 to 7 have 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. 44 dated 30.07.2010 under Sections 326,324,323,148,149 IPC registered at Kamboj District Amritsar and all the subsequent proceedings arising therefrom, on the basis of compromise dated 30.03.2025 (Annexure P-3) shall stand quashed qua the petitioners 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 14.07.2025 renu Whether speaking/reasoned :
