However, looking to nature of dispute that exists between the applicant and complainant, there is hope of settlement between the parties and for the same, effective mediation is required. Learned counsel complainant did not oppose the aforesaid submission and has consented for the same. Mr. R. S.

It is further submitted by the learned counsel for the parties that a settlement between the parties was arrived at on 19.05.2023 at the Mediation Centre of this Court. The terms of the settlement, which go to the root of the matter, are incorporated hereinbelow for ready reference: 4 “Upon a detailed and elaborate discussion the parties have reached to the conclusions. Now, therefore, this settlement agreement is being executed on 19.05.2023 at Bilaspur on the following terms:- 1. Shri Paritosh Mishra an Miss Shivani have deeply apologized to each other for the hardships they face on account of their relationship a bad shape. 2. As Miss Shivani is aged only about 22 years and has the entire future before her, and though she wanted to marry Paritosh, but he and his relatives are not willing, therefore, Shivani does not wish to proceed with her report made in the aforesaid FIR and wishes to part ways and settle elsewhere. 3. That, this agreement is being entered into upon freewill of the parties without being influenced in any manner after having given a careful though and consideration to all the aspects and attending circumstances.” 5. We have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the prayers and pleadings made in the petition along with the annexures annexed in this petition. 6. From perusal of the settlement arrived at between the parties on 19.05.2023, it appears that the petitioner and respondent No. 2 have amicably settled their dispute and compromised the matter. 5 7. Taking into consideration that the dispute between the parties has been amicably settled by way of compromise, this Court is of the view that no useful purpose would be served in proceeding any further against the petitioners in this matter. 8.
