7. It is contended by the learned counsel for the parties that since parties have resolved their disputes and both the applicant and the victim who were in fact in love now married with each other, therefore, continuation of the proceeding is completely a futile exercise and if the proceeding is permitted to continue it will disrupt their matrimonial life.
