VERSUS

STATE OF PUNJAB AND ANR ... RESPONDENTS CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE H.S.GREWAL Present:- Mr. Imraan Farooqi, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. Parneet Singh Pandher, Assistant A.G.Punjab 



 

  H.S. Grewal, J.(Oral) 1.

The present petition has been filed under Section 528 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (for short-'BNSS') for quashing of FIR No.111 dated 26.07.2021 under Sections 352,160,427,148,149,506 of IPC registered at Police Station Amargarh District Sangrur on the basis of compromise dated 08.10.2024.

2.

Learned State counsel states that no other FIR has been registered against the petitioners and they have no known criminal antecedents. 3.

Learned counsel for respondent No.2 confirms the factum of the compromise having been effected between the parties and states that respondent No. 2 has no objection to the quashing of the FIR in question. 4.

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 Renu Rawat 2025.11.21 17.31 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document

 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. 5.

Accordingly, the petition is allowed and FIR No.111 dated 26.07.2021 under Sections 352,160,427,148,149,506 of IPC registered at Police Station Amargarh District Sangrur and all the subsequent proceedings arising therefrom, on the basis of compromise dated 08.10.2024 shall stand quashed qua the petitioners subject to the condition to deposit a sum of Rs. 10,000/- each as costs in the Punjab State Legal Services Authority Disaster Relief Fund bearing Account No. 44426937384 IFSC Code SBIN0014656 Banch Name Sector 68 SAS Nagar, Mohali. 7.

Pending applications, if any, shall also be disposed of. (H.S.GREWAL) 20.11.2025 JUDGE renu Whether speaking/reasoned :
