I.A.Nos.2 and 3 of 2019 are filed under Sections 320(6) and 320(2) of Cr.P.C., by both parties seeking leave of this Court to compound the offences and to record compromise as the matter was settled out of the Court due to intervention of the elders. Along with the affidavits, they filed a joint memo of compromise stating that the 2nd respondent/de-facto complainant has received an amount of Rs.3,00,000/- out of Rs.5,00,000/-, to withdraw two cases i.e., O.P.No.32 of 2018 and M.C.No.262 of 2018 on the file of the Additional Family Court, City Civil Court, Hyderabad, and that she also received the remaining amount of Rs.2,00,000/- at the time of withdrawal of C.C.No.554 of 2015 and thus, she received the entire amount as per the matrimonial settlement deed dated 13.07.2019 and she agreed to withdraw the present case against the petitioners/A1 to A6.

Today, when the matter came up for hearing, petitioner Nos.2 to 6/A2 to A6 and the 2nd respondent/de-facto complainant are

present and they are identified by their respective counsel. The 1st petitioner/A1 is represented by his GPA holder 2nd petitioner/A2. They filed xerox copies of their aadhar cards before the Court. When this Court enquired the parties, petitioners 2 to 6/A2 to A6 and the 2nd respondent/de-facto complainant stated that they entered into compromise due to intervention of elders.
