I have heard learned counsel for the parties. During the pendency of the impugned criminal complaint, Surinder Singh complainant died and respondent No.2 Hardeep Singh was allowed to proceed with the case vide order dated 20.11.2015 (Annexure P-2). Amarjit Singh father of the petitioner has died and his death certificate is Annexure P-5.
Learned counsel for the petitioner(s) and for respondent No.2 are ad idem that in view of the settlement effected between the parties, the present petition deserves to be accepted. It has also come on record that the aforesaid compromise is genuine and the parties effected the same without any undue influence or coercion.
In view of above, nothing remains to be adjudicated further in the present case. Thus, continuation of the criminal proceedings between the parties would be a futile exercise and sheer wastage of time of the Court and thus, amount to abuse of process of law.
