1. The present petition has been filed under Section 528 of BNSS, 2023 (corresponding Section 482 Cr.P.C.) for quashing of FIR No.87 dated 03.03.2017 registered under Sections 506, 452, 34, 325, 323 of IPC (Now Sections 351(2), 333, 3(5), 117(2), 115(2) of BNS, 2023) (Annexure P-1) along with all consequential proceedings arising therefrom on the basis of compromise dated 18.05.2026 (Annexure P-2).
2. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the FIR is outcome of a civil dispute which has now been resolved and with the intervention of the respectables of the Society, the matter has indeed been compromised between the parties. He has referred to a copy of the compromise in this regard at Annexure P-2.
3. This Court vide order dated 29.05.2026 had directed the parties to appear before the trial Court to get their statements recorded and the learned Magistrate was directed to send its report qua the genuineness of the compromise.
