Disposal: DISMISSED

Holding

The petition is dismissed as infructuous because the original criminal proceedings were disposed of by compromise.

Summary

The petitioners filed a criminal writ petition challenging the proceedings against them. The counsel for the contesting respondent informed the court that the original criminal proceedings had been settled by a compromise, and produced the compromise order dated 18-03-2026. The court took note of this order and observed that, with the settlement, no operative relief remained to be granted. Consequently, the petition was held to be infructuous. The court dismissed the petition as there was nothing left to adjudicate.
