( 2 ) CRM-M-26308-2019 (O&M) the said judgment dated 27.09.2013 has been assailed separately by way of filing CRA-S No.3530-SB-2013, which is stated to be still pending. Since this Court is also seized of the matter in hand in the aforesaid appeal, it would be appropriate that the petitioners move an application in the said appeal for disposal of the same on the basis of compromise rather than filing a parallel petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. At this stage, learned counsel for the petitioners submits that he may be permitted to withdraw the present petition at this stage with liberty to move an application in his appeal seeking the relief as claimed in the instant petition or for disposal of the appeal on the ground of compromise, which is stated to be still pending.

In view of the aforesaid submission, the present petition is dismissed as withdrawn with liberty aforesaid. Needless to mention, the petitioners would be at liberty to place any document on record in the said application, if filed, including a copy of the compromise and copies of the statements recorded before the Magistrate towards the compromise.
