Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners submits as follows. During the pendency of the impugned proceeding, a compromised and settlement has been arrived at between the private parties as regards all the disputes that had led to the initiation of the impugned proceeding. A joint compromise application has also been filed by the private parties. The husband and wife in question had earlier obtained divorced by mutual concerned. 3. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the defactocomplainant/victim submits as follows. The disputes between the private parties have indeed been settled and compromised as would be evident from the statements contained in paragraphs 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 of the joint compromise application. The impugned proceeding ought to be quashed on the ground of compromise. 4. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the State submits that the State would not come in the way if any compromise and settlement was arrived at between the private parties. 5. I have heard the submissions of the learned counsels appearing on behalf of the parties and have perused the revision petition, the joint compromise application and the case diary. 6. It appears that a settlement and compromise has indeed been arrived at between the private parties. The couple in question has also obtained a mutual divorce. 7.

In view of the above and in the interest of justice, I quash the impugned proceeding on the ground of compromise and settlement. 9. Accordingly, the revisional application and the connected application are disposed of. 10. Urgent photostat certified copy of this order may be supplied to the parties expeditiously, if applied for.
