During the pendency of the instant revision the Learned Advocates for both parties under instruction filed an application for appropriate order stating, inter alia, that the dispute between the parties have been amicably settled on compromise and on the basis of such compromise the above-mentioned proceedings may be quashed. Having heard the Learned Counsels for the parties and on perusal of the entire materials-on-record, it is found that the dispute between the parties have been amicably settled. Therefore, the opposite party no. 2 will not suffer if further proceeding in respect of Serampore Police Station Case No. 174/2021 dated 7th May, 2021 corresponding to G. R. Case No. 795/2021 is quashed. In view of such circumstances, the proceedings in Serampore Police Station Case No. 174/2021 corresponding to G. R.
