Keeping in view the facts and circumstances of the case but without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, it is considered just and expedient to allow this petition.

The petitioners shall join investigation as and when called upon to do so. Petitioners shall comply with the conditions stipulated in Section 438 (2) Cr.P.C.

However, liberty is afforded to the complainant to file appropriate application in case the terms and conditions of settlement between the parties are not adhered to by the petitioners. ( LISA GILL ) 09.01.2018 JUDGE rupi Note: Whether speaking/reasoned Yes / No Whether Reportable:
