Considering the aforesaid submissions of the learned counsel for the parties, I find that compromise has been entered into between the parties on 12.07.2024 and said compromise has been verified on 10.06.2025 and, now, as per the statement of learned counsel for the parties, they do not want to press the aforementioned criminal proceedings against the applicants. In view of the above, as the applicants and opposite parties have entered into compromise on 12.07.2024 and no grievance remains to be agitated and as such, further criminal proceedings in the aforementioned criminal case are liable to be set aside in view of the Judgments of the Apex Court rendered in B.S.
