Heard and perused the material available on record. When the case is taken up for hearing, learned counsel for the petitioners/A.3 to A.7 as well as counsel for de facto complainant/second respondent submit that they have filed Crl.M.P.No.75 of 2016 seeking permission of this Court to compound the offences and consequently, to quash the proceedings.
