It is stated that, after getting the information and meeting with some senior persons from the informant''s family members, the dispute is amicably settled. The applicants are the close relatives of each other, and therefore, on that count also they have decided to settle the matter in order to maintain harmony between the family. The injured persons have also filed affidavit-in reply in echo with the informant.
