1.

The prayer for quashing is made on the ground of settlement. However, we find that the victim of the offence is a six years old girl who is the grand-daughter of the petitioner. Therefore, prayer for quashing cannot be entertained on the ground of settlement. Faced with this difficulty, the learned Advocate for the petitioner seeks permission to withdraw the petition. Accordingly, petition is disposed of as withdrawn. However, no adjudication is made on merits.
