CRM-M-67589-2025  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. 136 dated 26.08.2025 under Sections 115(2), 333,351,191 (3), 190 of BNS registered at Police Station Mahilpur, District Hoshiarpur, Punjab and all the subsequent proceedings arising therefrom shall stand quashed qua the petitioners 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 Banch Name Sector 68 SAS Nagar, Mohali.
