While so, on 23.05.2014 while defacto complainant was proceeding on his two wheeler to go to her job, the accused followed her, stopped and caught hold and tied yellow thread in her neck and proclaimed as if they have married and asked her to come along with him and thus created nuisance.

While so, the parties along with their counsel attended the Court today and submitted that at the intervention of elders they have amicably settled their disputes and there is no threat for the defacto complainant from the accused side and they want to live peacefully and therefore, defacto complainant has no objection

for quashment of proceedings in Cr.No.10 of 2014 against the accused and hence they may be permitted to compound the offence and quash the proceedings in the interest of justice.
