paid. A sum of Rs.40,000/- has already been paid. Banker’s Cheque

has been handed over and for the balance to respondent no. 2 who is

the IO. Respondent no. 2 submits that she has settled the disputes
with the petitioners and is agreeable to the settlement and does not
wish to press the criminal charges against the petitioners any further.

respondent no. 2 emanate out of a matrimonial discord and have been
settled, continuation of criminal proceedings will be an exercise in
futility and justice in the case demands that the dispute between the
parties is put to an end and peace is restored; securing the ends of
justice being the ultimate guiding factor. It would be expedient to

there from.
