They are represented by their respective counsels and identified by the Investigating Officer. They confirm that that the settlement has taken place and further that they do not wish to press her complaint any further. In view of the above and keeping in view of the fact that the parties have resolved their dispute with the intervention of respectable members of the Society with a view to restore peace and harmony between them and a Settlement Agreement dated 23.12.2017 has been executed between the parties, and further they do not wish to press. charges against each other, continuation of criminal proceedings will be an exercise in futility and justice in the case demands that the dispute between the parties is put to an end and peace is restored; securing the ends of justice being the ultimate guiding factor.
