Thereafter, with the intervention of elders and respectable members of the society, both the parties have resolved their grievances and settled their all disputes vide Compromise Deed/Settlement dated 10.05.2025. 10.

On a query made by this Court, respondent no.2 who has been identified by the IO, has categorically stated that he has entered into compromise out of his own free will and without any pressure, coercion or threat. It is also stated by respondent no. 2 that the entire dispute has been amicably settled between the parties and no objection for quashing of FIR has been given by respondent no. 2.
