parties, they have also produced the copies of the Aadhaar Cards and the

Aadhaar Cards are made part of the record. In the affidavit, it has been

stated that the petitioners and the second respondent had entered into a

compromise and amicably settled their issues in Crime No.923 of 2021.

This Court also enquired both the parties and was satisfied that the parties

have come to an amicable settlement between themselves.

4. Under such circumstances, no useful purpose will be served in

keeping the First Information Report pending, even though, the offences

involved are not compoundable in nature. In the light of the guidelines

given by the Hon'ble Supreme Court reported in (2017) 9 SCC 641 -

(Parbathbhai Aahir @ Parbathbhai Vs. State of Gujrath), and after

exercising due caution as advised by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in The

State of Madhya Pradesh Vs. Dhruv Gurjar and Another reported in

(2019) 2 MLJ Crl 10, this Court in exercise of its jurisdiction under Section

482 of Cr.P.C., quashes the First Information Report in Crime No.923 of

2021, on the file of the first respondent Police.
