This Court also enquired both the parties and was satisfied that the parties have come to an amicable settlement between themselves.
4. It is seen that now the victim girl attains majority and she married the first petitioner/accused and gave birth to a child. Now both are living happily and therefore, the petitioners need not to be subjected to the ordeal of trial.
