– High Court quashed the case on the ground that a compromise was made between the complainants and the accused;
– The petitioner before Supreme Court claimed that the order was erroneous since it was established law that courts should not quash proceedings in serious offences;
– It was stated that the compromise was simply a cover-up, and probably arrived at because of coercion;
