In view of the aforesaid and the fact that parties do not want to pursue the case any further, which has been mutually settled between the parties by way of the compromise, therefore, no useful purpose would be served in proceeding with the matter further. 10. For the discussions made above, the present application is allowed and consequently, entire criminal proceedings of the aforesaid case are hereby quashed in respect of applicants. 11. One charge-sheeted accused Smt. Kiran has not compromised, hence proceedings against her will be carried out in accordance with law. September 17, 2025 P.P.
