(ORAL) Present petition has been filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C. seeking quashing of FIR on the basis of compromise.

If the trial Court, after verification of the compromise, comes to the conclusion that compromise Criminal Misc. No. M-5518 of 2009 indeed has been effected between the parties, same shall be construed as a mitigating circumstance, while determining quantum of sentence. With these observations, present petition is disposed off. Copy of this order, under the signatures of Court Secretary, be handed over to counsel for the petitioners.
