counsel for the complainant and the respondent/accused submit that the complainant had also challenged the impugned order dated 6th January, 2016 by filing an appeal before the learned Additional Sessions Judge wherein a settlement was arrived at between the respondent/accused and the complainant pursuant whereto appeal filed by the complainant was withdrawn.

Copy of the order dated 1st August, 2018 seeking withdrawal of the appeal filed by the complainant has been placed on record. Considering the fact that the complainant has settled the matter with the respondent/accused, this Court finds no ground to interfere in the impugned judgment by granting leave to appeal to the State. Petition is dismissed.
