They are identified by their respective counsel. They also produced Photostat copies of Aadhar card in proof of their identity.

When the Court questioned about the compromise, the 2nd respondent informed that the matter is settled out of Court due to intervention of elders and petitioners agreed to pay an amount of Rs.15.00 lakhs and today an amount of Rs.7,50,000/- was paid by way of Demand Draft bearing

No.631181 to the 2nd respondent while agreeing to pay balance amount of Rs.7,50,000/- on the date of granting divorce in a petition proposed to be filed under Section 13-B of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955.

In the affidavit filed in support of the petition, it is stated that in view of compromise entered into by both the parties due to intervention of elders and as per the terms of compromise, they intend to live separately, I find that it is a fit case to grant leave to compound the offences by exercising the jurisdiction under Section 320 (6) read with 482 Cr.P.C. 6.
