It has been asserted that the parties have settled the matter amongst themselves with the intervention of the respectable persons of the society. The informant does not want to proceed further with the matter after the compromise; hence, the petition. 3. The statements of the informant Prakash and victim Gaurav were recorded on 17.10.2025, in which they stated that they had entered into a compromise with the petitioner/accused voluntarily without any in昀氀uence from any person, and they did not want to proceed further with the matter because of the compromise e昀昀ected between the parties. 4. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and have gone through the records carefully. 5. The o昀昀ence punishable under Section 281 of BNS corresponds to Section 279 of IPC, and the o昀昀ence punishable under Section 125(a) of BNS corresponds to Section 337 of IPC.
