Learned Special Government Pleader for the First to Seventh Respondents, on instructions, states that the matter has been amicably settled between the parties during the peace committee meeting held on 22.08.2022 and copy of its proceedings has been placed on record. 3/6

In such circumstances, the Writ Petition is dismissed for nonprosecution. Consequently, connected Miscellaneous Petitions are closed. No costs.
