Considering the aforesaid submissions of the learned counsel for the parties, I find that compromise has been entered into between the parties on 22.03.2025 and said compromise has been verified on 19.05.2025 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.
