Pending the Criminal Petition, the de facto complainant filed petition seeking permission of the Court to compound the proceedings of the above said S.C.

The accused and the de facto complainant are present before the Court and they are identified by their respective counsel. They filed joint compromise memo along with affidavit of the de facto complainant stating that they compromised the matter at the intervention of elders and she was paid Rs.3,00,000/- in lumpsum including future maintenance and the Maintenance Case proceedings which are pending in this Court in Crl.P.No.5461 of 2014 also going to be withdrawn on even date.
