The case was one instituted at the instance of the second

of the Indian Penal Code.
3. It is seen that the second respondent has settled
her disputes with the petitioners, and an affidavit to that effect
has been filed as Annexure II.

affirmed that Annexure II is an affidavit sworn to by the second

5. In the light of the decision of the Apex Court in
Gian singh v. State of Punjab, (2012) 10 SCC 303, I am of
the view that this is an appropriate case where this court has to
invoke the jurisdiction under Section 482 of the Code of

In the result, the Crl.M.C. is allowed and Annexure – I
