The order taking cognizance for offence under Section 498 A of the Indian Penal Code and Section 3/4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act is primarily sought to be assailed on the basis of a compromise arrived at between the parties on 13.7.2009. Obviously, such compromise was made after the impugned order dated 20.2.2009 was passed. Accordingly, this Court would give liberty to the petitioners to approach the court below which would make verification from the opposite party no. 2 the complainant and if it is found that there has already been a compromise as claimed in the compromise petition 2 (Annexure-4) to this application it would pass necessary order for dropping the proceeding. With the aforesaid observations and directions this application is disposed of. Kanchan (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
