1. Learned counsel for the petitioners has filed an application under Section 482 of Cr.P.C. read with Section 320 of Cr.P.C./Section 523 read with Section 359 of BNSS seeking to dispose of the matter as the dispute between the petitioners and respondent No.2 has been settled and a compromise petition has been filed in Civil Petition No.30/2025 and that
HC-KAR
respondent No.2 has agreed for quashing of all further proceedings in C.C.No.87/2022 arising out of Crime No.61/2021 registered against the petitioners and his family members.
2. Petitioner No.1 and respondent No.2 are present before the Court.
