And to kindly grant any other relief to the petitioners as this Hon'ble Court may deem fit and proper in facts and circumstances of the case, may also be granted to the petitioners.” 3. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the matter has been compromised outside the Court between the petitioner and the respondent No. 2/ complainant and the compromise deed dated 24.04.2025 is annexed as Annexure P/5 in the present petition. 4. Learned counsel for the petitioners further submits that on the basis of the compromise deed, an application under Section 320 of the Cr.P.C. was moved before the learned trial Court, but the same has been rejected vide order dated 11.09.2024 on the ground that offence under Section 498A is not compoundable, but it is stated that the parties have already entered into a compromise and the complainant has also agreed to withdraw the criminal case pending against the petitioners as well as the Section 125 of the Cr.P.C. before the Family Court, Raipur. 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 compromise deed dated 24.04.2025, it appears that the petitioners and respondents No. 2/complainant have already settled their dispute and compromised the matter outside the Court. 4 7. Taking into consideration that the dispute between the parties has been amicably settled by the parties by way of compromise deed, this Court is of the view that no useful purpose would be served in proceeding any further against the petitioners in this matter and since the certified copy of the compromise deed has been annexed with the present petition, this Court does not intend to issue notice to respondent No.2/complainant. 8. In that view of the matter, the criminal proceedings in Criminal Case No. 22628/2023 arising out of Final Report No.109/2023 dated 25.11.2023 in pursuance to the FIR bearing Crime No. 47/2023 dated 17.03.2023 registered at Police Station Mahila Thana, Raipur, District- Raipur (C.G.) for the offence punishable under Sections 498-A, 377, 34 of the IPC against the petitioners is hereby quashed subject to the condition that the petitioners shall comply with the terms and conditions of the compromise deed dated 24.04.2025 (Annexure A/5) arrived at between the parties. 9.
