Learned A.G.A. has no objection, if the parties compromised the matter. 6. I have considered the submissions and perused the record. 7. It is well settled that in appropriate cases criminal proceedings may be quashed on the basis of compromise.

The compromise filed by the parties before the Trial court, has already been verified by the court concerned.
