3. Opposite party No.2 has lodged FIR No.126 of 2023 on 25.10.2023 alleging that her marriage was settled with the applicant about 4 years ago and he used to talk to her. On 25.10.2023, the applicant called the opposite party No.2 in a hotel and made physical relations with her. Although the victim has supported the FIR allegations by her statements, medico legal examination report returned no findings as would support allegation of making physical relations by use of force. 4. A supplementary affidavit has been filed today annexing therewith a compromise entered into between the parties wherein it is stated that the litigation was initiated due to some misunderstanding and the parties have resolved their dispute amicably and opposite party No.2 is desirous of closure of criminal proceedings initiated by her.
