They were also identified by the learned Additional Public Prosecutor and the 2/4

5.Considering the totality of the circumstances, the nature of the allegations levelled against the petitioners and also in view of the joint compromise memo, dated 30.11.2023, this Court is of the opinion that no useful purpose will be served by keeping the matter pending.
