Respondent nos. 2 and 3 submit that they have settled the matter with the petitioners and respondent no. 4 of their own free will and without any undue force, pressure or coercion and not willing to pursue the aforesaid criminal cases and consequent proceedings emanating therefrom and the same may be quashed.

Keeping in mind the settlement arrived at between the petitioners, respondent no. 4 and respondent nos. 2 and 3 voluntarily, in my view, no fruitful purpose would be served to keep the criminal proceedings pending.

quashed.
