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 present petition is allowed and FIR No.149 dated 25.10.2025 under Sections 106, 281 of BNS 2025 registered at Police Station Baragudha, Sirsa and all the subsequent proceedings arising therefrom shall stand quashed qua the petitioner. However, the petitioner is directed to pay a sum of Rs. 25,000/- as compensation to the father of the deceased. 7.

Pending applications, if any, shall also be disposed of. (H.S.GREWAL) 27.11.2025 JUDGE renu Whether speaking/reasoned :
