compromise effected before Hon’ble High Court which is
pending there for 01.05.2019. Further I do not want to pursue
the present FIR against said accused. I have no objection if the
above said FIR is quashed in terms of compromise which has
been entered voluntarily without any pressure between me and
accused.”

Learned counsel for the petitioner states that the parties are

staying together as husband and wife.
