Mr. Rishabh Singla, AAG, Punjab accepts notice on behalf of the respondent No.1-State. He has filed the reply in the Court today and the same is taken on record.

4.

Mr. Jas Karan Sohal, Advocate accepts notice on behalf of respondent No.2 in the Court today. He has filed his Vakalatnama in the Court and the same is taken on record. He 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. 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. 94 dated 24.07.2025 under Sections 304,115,127(1), 351 and 238 of the BNS, 2023 registered at Police Station Banur, District SAS Nagar and all the subsequent proceedings arising therefrom shall stand quashed qua the petitioner on the basis of compromise subject to payment of Rs. 10,000/- as costs in the Punjab State Legal Services Authority Disaster Relief Fund bearing Account No. 44426937384 IFSC Code SBIN0014656 Branch Name Sector 68 SAS Nagar, Mohali.
