3. Submission of the parties is that the matter was sent for mediation and the report of the Mediator would reveal that the parties have settled their dispute. Both have jointly entered into a written understanding specifically stating therein that now there is no grievance with regard to marital life between the parties.
4. In that view of the matter, the continuance of the criminal proceeding would amount to abuse of the process of the Court. Hence, the impugned order and subsequent proceeding arising out of the above complaint case against the petitioners stands quashed and this application stands allowed.
