CRM-M-30300-2025 (O&M) -2been effected between 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. 54 dated 21.03.2023 under Sections 323,324,341,506,34 IPC and Section 201 IPC added later on registered at Police Station Sadar, Ludhiana, District Police Commissionerate Ludhiana and all the subsequent proceedings arising therefrom, on the basis of compromise dated 24.05.2025 (Annexure P-3) shall stand quashed qua the petitioners.

7.

Pending application(s), if any, shall also stand disposed of. (H.S.GREWAL) JUDGE 29.05.2025 renu Whether speaking/reasoned :
