He has further submitted that after registration of the FIR qua against the petitioner, the relatives and the friends intervened and the matter has been settled between the parties vide compromise deed dated 15.10.2016.

Learned counsel for the petitioner further submits that all disputes have been amicably settled between the parties and nothing remains to be adjudicated upon further and submits that the FIR in question is coming as hurdle in the way of the present petitioner.

The respondent No.2/complainant Mr.Manoj Kumar is present in Court today and has been identified by the Investigating Officer, SI Ramesh Chand. The respondent No.2/complainant also admits that the matter has been amicably settled with the petitioner vide compromise deed dated 15.10.2016 and he has no claim or grievance left against the petitioner.
