RAJESH BHARDWAJ, J. (Oral)

1. Instant petition has been filed praying for quashing of FIR No.06, dated 09.01.2024 registered under Sections 323, 324 and 34 of IPC, 1860 (Section 326 IPC added later on), at Police Station Sultanpur Lodhi, District Kapurthala along with all subsequent proceedings arising therefrom on the basis of compromise dated 12.06.2025, Annexure P-2.

2. The FIR in question was lodged by complainant-respondent No.2 and the investigation commenced thereon. However, with the intervention of respectables, finally the parties arrived at settlement and they resolved their inter se dispute, which is apparent from Annexure P-2. On the basis of the compromise, the petitioners are praying that continuation of these proceedings would be a futile exercise and an abuse of process
