applicants-accused would be an unnecessary harassment
to the applicants-accused. It further appears that the
trial would be a futile exercise and further continuing
with the criminal proceedings pursuant to the impugned
FIR and the Criminal Case would amount to abuse of
process of law. Hence, to secure the ends of justice, the
impugned FIR as well as the proceedings of the Criminal
Case, so also all other consequential proceedings are
required to be quashed and set aside in exercise of the
powers conferred under Section 528 of the Bharatiya
Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023.

No.11191003211891 of 2021 registered at Khokhra
Police Station, Ahmedabad City is quashed. Accordingly,
all the consequential proceedings are hereby quashed
and set aside.
