The complainant as well as petitioners are stated to be friends. It is contended that on account of a misunderstanding the subject incident occurred, and a fight took place between the parties. It is further contended that with the intervention of the respective members of the family who are also family friends, the disputes between the parties have been settled and a settlement agreement dated 15.02.2018 has been executed. It is contended that the parties are friends and they continued to be friends.
