Both the parties present and are identified by their respective counsel. They produced xerox copies of the Aadhar cards and the same are made as part of the record.

Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case and in view of the affidavit filed by the de facto complainant and the joint memo of compromise filed by both the parties, I.A.No.4 of 2018 is allowed.

Consequently, the criminal revision case is allowed. The conviction and sentence recorded against the petitioner/accused in C.C.No.152 of 2010 dated 01.05.2013 on the file of the IV Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Visakhapatnam, and as confirmed in Crl.A.No.117 of 2013 dated 22.07.2016 on the file of the IV Additional District and Sessions Judge, Visakhapatnam, are hereby set aside.
