at the Bangalore Mediation centre and the

Petitioner No 1 and the respondent No 2 have

settled their issues in presence of both the

counsels and the mediator and a detailed

Reunion Mediation agreement was drawn at the

BMC. The above cases are disposed as

withdrawn on 2/8/2022.

6. The petitioners and the 2nd respondent

states that, In view of the reunion between the

Petitioner No 1 and the respondent No 2, the

respondent No 2 also withdrawn the Crl .Misc

110/2021 (filed under the Protection of Women

from Domestic Violence Act, before the III

MMTC at Bangalore) by filing appropriate memo

respondent No 2. Hence the said case was also

disposed as withdrawn on 3/8/2022.”

In the light of the afore-extracted compromise

petition and that the husband and wife are now living

together happily, I deem it appropriate to terminate the

proceedings initiated against the petitioners for the afore-

quoted offences, as the same are not against the State.

4. For the aforesaid reasons, I pass the following:

ORDER

(i)

The criminal petition is disposed.

The
