It was a petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (hereinafter referred to as the "Code") for quashing of FIR No. 121/14.7.2010 registered under Sections 307/324/323/34, Indian Penal Code, on the basis of compromise dated 22.7.2013 entered into between the Petitioners (who are accused in the said FIR) and Respondent No. 2 (who is the complainant).
