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. 45 dated 23.03.2019 under Sections 448, 380 and 427 IPC registered at Police Station Dugri, District Ludhiana and all the subsequent proceedings arising therefrom, on the basis of compromise shall stand quashed qua the petitioners subject to payment of Rs.5,000/- as costs to be paid to the High Court Legal Services Committee 7. Pending application(s), if any, shall also stand disposed of.
