Respondent nos.2 and 3 hence submit that they do not wish to continue with the aforesaid FIR against the petitioner. 6. The petitioner and the respondent nos.2 and 3, present in Court, as well as their credentials, as on record, have been duly identified by the IO. 7. As noted above, a settlement based on mutual terms between the petitioner and the respondent nos.2 and 3 is the basis of filing the present petition, which is accompanied by their respective affidavit(s) qua the said effect.
