The parties are present in Court today. Petitioner No.1, namely Rajinder Kumar accepted the factum of compromise and said that since the divorce has been granted and the matter has been settled, the FIR may be quashed. Similarly, complainant-respondent No.2 is present in Court and has stated that she has no objection if the aforesaid FIR and subsequent proceedings are quashed in view of the compromise.
