No.26039 -M of 2010 (O&M) 2 Court, which is taken on record. 4 In the affidavit, it has been stated by respondent No.2 that he would have no objection if the FIR is quashed, in terms of compromise (Annexure P-2). 5 Baghel Singh (respondent No.2), as identified by his counsel Shri F.S. Virk, Advocate, is present in court and states that he had received an injury on non-vital part of the body. He is not ready and willing to bring any evidence to court, in view of settlement of disputes by way of compromise. 6 It transpires that even challan has not been filed in court. 7 Considering the fact that respondent No.2 is not ready to pursue the FIR case, no useful purpose would be served by continuance of proceedings. It would be in the interest of peace and harmony to quash the FIR. 8 The petition is, accordingly, allowed. 9 FIR No.258 dated 20.11.2009 under Sections 307, 323, 341, 506, 148, 149, Indian Penal Code, and Sections 25 and 27 of the Arms Act, 1959, Police Station, Patran, District Patiala (Annexure P-1) is hereby quashed.
