The Opposite Party No. 2 is ready to withdraw the criminal prosecution of the applicants and in view of the compromise, no fruitful purpose would be served if the prosecution is allowed to go on.

Learned Additional Government Advocate submits that both the parties have settled their dispute out of the court, hence, there is no reason to proceed further. 6.
