The FIR was registered on the basis of statements made by [ENTITY] and [ENTITY]-respondent Nos.2 and 3, alleging that the petitioners had defrauded them on the pretext of sending their sons abroad, but neither they sent their sons abroad nor returned their money. In this background, the FIR was registered.
After registration of the FIR, at the stage of investigation, the matter has now been amicably resolved between the parties, vide compromise deed dated 22.07.2013 (Annexure P-2) In compliance with the order dated 02.08.2013, passed by this Court, both the parties got recorded their statements before the Illaqa Magistrate. Report from the Sub Divisional Judicial Magistrate, Guruhar Sahai, has been received in this regard. As per report, [ENTITY] and [ENTITY]-complainants made their joint statement on 22.11.2013 to the effect that with the intervention of respectable persons, they have compromised the matter with [ENTITY], [ENTITY] and [ENTITY], accused-petitioners.
