 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.13 dated 18.01.2025 under Section 318(4) of BNSS registered at Police Station Cyber Crime Gurugram Haryana and all the subsequent proceedings arising therefrom shall stand quashed qua the petitioner on the basis of compromise subject to the condition to deposit a sum of Rs. 10,000/- 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) 21.11.2025 JUDGE renu Whether speaking/reasoned :
