At this stage, Ms. Kashakdeep Kaur, Advocate with Ms. Kirandeep Kaur, Advocate has entered appearance on behalf of respondent No.2 and filed her vakalatnama which is taken on record. She confirms the factum of the compromise having been effected between the parties and states that respondent No.2 has no objection to the quashing of the FIR in question. 6. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and have carefully gone through the material available on record. 7. 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. 8. Accordingly, the petition is allowed and FIR No.141 dated 07.08.2024, under Sections 420, 465, 467, 468, 471, 120-B IPC, registered at Police Station City Muktsar, District Sri Muktsar Sahib and all other consequential proceedings arising therefrom qua the petitioners shall stand quashed qua the petitioners, however, subject to payment of Rs.5000/- as costs to be paid to the High Court Legal Services Committee. 9. Pending application(s), if any, shall also stand disposed of.
