In his plea before the High Court, Singh stated that the two parties had settled the dispute between themselves and that Sawant had even set out in a sworn affidavit that she has no objection to the Court granting the relief sought.
Advocate Falguni Brahmabhat, appearing for Singh, apprised the Court that the case has been lying in limbo for the past 17 years.
“Though chargesheet has been filed against the accused (Singh), charges are yet to be framed. Singh and Sawant have buried the hatchet, have resolved their issued and are friends now,” she informed the Court.
The Court after considering the submissions quashed the case.
