ORDER
The present petition has been filed by A1 and A2 in Cr.No.51 of 2026, seeking to quash the FIR, wherein they are alleged to have committed offences under Sections 296(b), 64, 318(2) & 351(2) of BNS, 2023 and Section 3(1)(r) and 3(2)(va) of the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989.
2. Pending the quash petition, a compromise memo was filed by the parties. The defacto complainant was present in-person before this Court and she submitted that after attaining majority, she had married the 1st accused and she prayed for quashing of the criminal proceedings. However, the Court had not recorded the compromise and adjourned the matter for production of the marriage certificate. In the meantime, there is some dispute between the parties and they have not proceeded to register the marriage.
3. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioners today made an endorsement that he is withdrawing the quash petition.

5. In such view of the matter, the compromise that is failed before this Court cannot be relied upon by the both the parties before any proceedings.
6. With these observations, the criminal original petition stands dismissed as withdrawn. 07-10-2026 rgm
