5. Considering the nature of allegations and the relationship and since the dispute is private in nature, the compromise arrived between the parties, this Court is of the view that no useful purpose would be served in keeping the impugned FIRs pending investigation. Accordingly, the impugned final reports are quashed in entirety and the Criminal Original Petitions are allowed. The joint compromise memos dated 04.11.2025 shall form part and parcel of this order. The petitioners shall pay a sum of Rs.5,000/- (Rupees Five Thousand only) in each case as costs to the Mediation and Conciliation Centre attached to this Bench and file a photocopy of the receipt along with a memo reporting compliance in the Registry.
