Learned A.G.A. has no objection, in case, the matter is sent for Mediation & Conciliation Center of this Court. 5. Considering the arguments advanced by the learned counsel for the applicants as well as learned A.G.A. and going through the contents of F.I.R., charge sheet, summoning order and other documents, it is evident that the genesis of the case in question is matrimonial dispute and the possibility of settlement cannot be ruled out.
