Connaught Place, New Delhi is sought on the basis of settlement arrived at with complainant party. Inthe alternative, permission issought bypetitioner to settle the dispute with remaining complainants with direction to respondent-State to furnish correct ofsuch complainants.
At the hearing, learned counsel forpetitionerhad submitted thatthe compromise deed (Annexure-C colly.) has been already acted upon and private respondents ofthe above-captioned petitions are thecomplainants in the charge-sheet No. 2, 7, 8, 9, 10 & 24.
Since the separate charge-sheets have been filed in the FIR in question, therefore, it is deemed appropriate to permit petitioner to seek discharge from trial court onthe basis of settlement of the subject matter of this FIR with the complainant party of charge-sheet No. 2,1, 8, 9, 10
& 24. Such a course is being adopted because respondent-complainants are not present in the Court.
In the peculiar facts and circumstances of this case, trial court at the hearing on thepointof framing of charge shall obtain the presence of complainant-respondents of the above-mentioned charge-sheets i.e. No. charge-sheet No.2,8,24,9,10 & 7 and will satisfy itself as to whether the
