Crl.R.P.No.525/2020

ORDER
Dated this the 11th day of March, 2022
The revision petitioner/accused has filed Crl.M.A.No.3/2020
under Section 320(2) of Cr.P.C seeking permission to compound
the offences.
2. The petitioner is the accused. He has been convicted
for the offences punishable under Section 341, 323 and 506(i)
read with Section 34 of IPC. The 3 rd respondent is the defacto
complainant.
3. All the offences are compoundable in nature. In the
application it has been stated that the petitioner was the former
husband of the 3rd respondent. Now the entire dispute between
them has been settled. The 3rd respondent does not want to
prosecute the case further. I am satisfied that the composition is
voluntary. Hence, Crl.M.A No.3/2020 shall stand allowed.
The composition shall have the effect of acquittal of the
accused under Section 320(8) of Cr.P.C. In view of the Crl.R.P.No.525/2020
settlement, the impugned judgments convicting and sentencing
the petitioner are set aside and the petitioner is acquitted.
The Crl.R.P is allowed.
