A joint memo is filed which reads as follows: - 6 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC-K:3352 CRL.P No. 200936 of 2024 C/W CRL.P No. 201012 of 2025 “JOINT MEMO It is submitted that, the petitioners and the respondent No.2 have agreed to settle all the disputes against each other in the case and the counter case, which has resulted in filing of Criminal Petition No.201012/2025 and Criminal Petition No.200936/2024 at the advise of elders and well-wishers. In the circumstances, this Hon’ble Court may kindly be pleased to allow the petitions and quash the proceedings in both the case, in the ends of justice.” 6.

State of Madhya Pradesh, reported in (2022) 14 SCC 531, since the lis is prevailed to the parties and no social impact has been caused by the pendency of the criminal case, this is a fit case where both the charge-sheets need to be quashed. - 7 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC-K:3352 CRL.P No. 200936 of 2024 C/W CRL.P No. 201012 of 2025 ORDER (i) Petitions are allowed; (ii) Pending criminal cases in C.C.No.2253/2021 and C.C.No.39/2022 on the file of Civil Judge and JMFC, Sedam, stand quashed.
