What is this about?

Pugalandhi, J. — petition dismissed.
What did the court decide?
On verification of the compromise, the defacto complainant, though initially willing to settle the issue and withdraw her complaint, submitted that she was willing to prosecute the case further, considering the manner in which the petitioners were agitating against her (A2 having quarrelled with her even in open Court).
