Learned APP states that the dispute is of personal nature and has no objection for quashing the proceedings in view of settlement arrived at between the parties.
4.
Having considered the nature of the accusations leveled by the parties against each other, and also considering that the parties have arrived at an amicable settlement, in our opinion, this is a fit case to exercise power under Section 482 of Cr.P.C. so as to enable the parties to put an end the acrimony and
maintain cordial relations. Under these circumstances, Petitions are allowed. Consequently, R.C.C. No. 85/2020 pending on the file of learned JMFC, Aashti arising out of FIR No. 151/2020, as well as charge-sheet no. 62/2020 & R.C.C.
