The second respondent lodged written report with the police. On the strength of the complaint, crime was registered and the police issued F.I.R. At the crime stage, both the parties entered into compromise, settled the claims against one another and decided not to proceed against one another, thereby, resolved the dispute amicably. Therefore, learned counsel for the petitioners requested this Court to compound the offences.

In view of the specific request made by the learned counsel for the petitioners, the V Additional Sessions Judge, Karimnagar is directed to dispose of S.C.No.377 of 2014, as expeditiously as possible, in any event, not later than six months from the date of receipt of copy of this order, without giving undue preference to S.C.No.377 of 2014 alone.

MSM,J Crl.P_24663_2017 With the above direction, the criminal petition is disposed of, without touching the merits of the case.

Consequently, miscellaneous petitions pending, if any, shall also stand closed. No costs.
