the cases are under Sections 504, 506, 354A, 504 and 509 of the IPC respectively against them. With the intervention of well-wishers as well as elders of both families, the parties have amicably come forward to settle both the petitions. In view of the same, the petitioners, who are complainants, have withdrawn the allegations made against each other and have no objection to dispose of both the petitions.
2. It is also stated in paragraph No.4 of the joint memo that the petitioner in Crl.P.No.6047/2019 has tendered an unconditional apology to Smt.
