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 useful 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. 8. Accordingly, the petition is allowed and FIR No.0063 dated 14.06.2024, under Sections 324, 323, 148, 149 IPC, (offence under Section 326 IPC added subsequently) registered at Police Station Bahawala, District Fazilka (Annexure P-1) and all other consequential proceedings arising therefrom qua the petitioner shall stand quashed. 9. Needless to say that the parties shall remain bound by the terms of compromise. (H.S.
