Along with the present C482 application, a joint compounding application (IA/3/2025) is filed duly supported by separate affidavits by applicants and respondent No.2. 4. In the compounding application, it has been stated by the parties that they have settled their dispute amicably and the respondent No.2 does not want to pursue with the case anymore. 5. Applicant No.1- Anzar Hussain@ Hussain is present before this Court, while applicant No.2-Shaista Parveen and respondent No.2-Aasma, are present before this Court through V.C., who are duly identified by their respective 1 2025:UHC:6599 counsel. On interaction, respondent No.2 categorically stated that she and the applicants are family members and she is wife of brother of applicant No.1 and the matter is now amicably settled by them with their free will and without any coercion, therefore, she has no grievance against the applicants and she does not want to prosecute the applicants in the aforesaid matter any further. 6. Learned State Counsel has no objection, if the present matter is compounded, as all the offences are compoundable. 7. Since the parties have reached to the terms of the compromise, this Court is of the firm opinion that there would remain a remote or bleak possibility of conviction in this case.

The entire proceedings of Criminal Case No.795 of 2022 State Vs.
