proceeding may be quashed.

Learned counsel for the opposite party no.2 has also supported the contention of the learned counsel for the applicants and submits that parties have amicable settled their dispute and the opposite party no. 2 has no grievance, hence, criminal proceedings against the applicants may be dropped.

¶17

Learned counsel for the State has no objection to the contention aforesaid.

¶18

Considering the aforesaid submissions of the learned counsel for the parties, I find that compromise has been entered into between the parties on 27.11.2025 and said compromise has been verified on 09.02.2026 and, now, as per the statement of learned counsel for the parties, they do not want to press the aforementioned criminal case.
