Present:

Mr. Rajinder Kumar Singla, Advocate for the petitioner.

Mr. Parveen Kumar Aggarwal, Addl. A.G., Haryana. **** H.S. GREWAL, J. (ORAL) 1.

By way of this petition filed under Section 528 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), 2023 (erstwhile Section 482 of Cr.P.C), the petitioner seeks quashing of FIR No.324 dated 18.10.2021 under Section 67 of Information and Technology Act, 2000 read with Section 499 IPC, 1860 (Section 501 IPC added later on) registered at Police Station Urban Estate Hisar, District Hisar (Annexure P-1) alongwith all consequential proceedings arising therefrom including report under Section 173 Cr.P.C.. 2.

Mr. Ashim Singla, Advocate and Mr. Gagandeep Singh Simble, Sonia Puri 2025.07.28 17:40 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document

CRM-M-38854-2025(O&M) -2Advocate accept notice on behalf of respondent No.2 by way of filing a joint Power of Attorney and confirmed the factum of the compromise having been effected between the parties and stated that respondent No.2 has no objection to the quashing of FIR in question.

5.

Learned State counsel has stated no objection in case the FIR is quashed based upon the compromise. He further states that the petitioner is not involved in any other case.

6.

I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the material placed on record.

8.

In view of the above, 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. 9.

Accordingly, the petition is allowed and of FIR No.324 dated 18.10.2021 under Section 67 of Information and Technology Act, 2000 read with Section 499 IPC, 1860 (Section 501 IPC added later on) registered at Police Station Urban Estate Hisar, District Hisar (Annexure P-1) alongwith all consequential proceedings arising therefrom are quashed qua the petitioner subject to payment of costs of Rs.5,000/- to be paid to the High Court Legal Services Authority.

10.

Needless to say that the parties shall remain bound by the terms of compromise.
