It is stated that the matter has been settled with the complainant/respondent No.2 amicably.

(2) Learned counsel for respondent No.2-complainant is present before the Court. I have enquired from the complainant's counsel CRL.M.C. 3735/2015

He has informed that the matter has been settled without any fear or pressure and the complainant has no objection to the quashing of the FIR. He further informs that pursuant to settlement entire disputed electricity dues have already been paid by the petitioner to the complainant.
