During the course of arguments, Ld. counsel for the petitioner confines his prayers against quashing of PO order, reserving liberty to file a separate petition for quashing of FIR, if any. Thus, the present petition is confined to PO order, Annexure P-1, and liberty is reserved to file a separate petition for quashing of FIR, if any, registered pursuant to order dated 2.8.2019. 2.

Petitioner was arraigned as an accused in the above captioned matter.

Vide order dated 04-07-2022, passed by Ld. JMFC, Gurugram, the accused was acquitted and the complaint was treated as compounded. ASHWANI KUMAR 2023.04.26 17:10 I attest to the accuracy and authenticity of this order/judgment
