While so, today the parties and their counsel present in Court and submitted that at the intervention of elders, they have amicably settled all their disputes and as per the settlement, the complainant and A.1 proposed to obtain divorce and in fact they already filed F.C.O.P.No.54 of 2015, which is pending on the file of Family Court, Guntur, and in view of the above settlement, the de facto complainant has no objection for quashment of the proceedings in C.C.No.311 of 2013 on the fie of V Additional Junior Civil Judge, Guntur and as such permission may be accorded to them to compound the offence and quash the proceedings in the interest of justice.

Having regard to the above said submission and in view of the fact that it is a matrimonial dispute wherein the parties have amicably resolved their disputes and entered into a compromise and considering that no useful purpose will be served even if they are driven to trial since the chances of securing conviction are bleak as they entered into a compromise and following the decision reported in Gian Singh v. State of Punjab and another (2012)10 SCC 303, Crl.P.M.P.No.4538 of 2015 is allowed and permission is accorded to compound the case. Consequently, the Criminal Petition is allowed and the Proceedings in C.C.No.311 of 2013 on the file of V Additional Junior Civil Judge, Guntur, are quashed against the accused Nos. 1 to 4, as per the compromise petition filed by the parties by compounding the offence.
