No.M-6201 of 2010(O&M) -2- pursuant to the FIR, parties have resolved their differences and prayed for quashing of this FIR. On 28.02.2011, this court directed the parties to appear before the trial court and get their statements recorded in support of their claim that the matter has been compromised.
