P.Pavithran vs State Represented By on 7 July, 2008
6. I fully agree with the learned Public Prosecutor. I am
not persuaded to agree that this is a fit case where the dictum in
Madan Mohan Abbot v. State of Punjab can, need or ought
to be invoked. It would perpetuate injustice and not justice if
such a composition is accepted. The offence in this case must be
held to be too serious and not one which can be left to the private
citizens to talk over, negotiate, settle and compound. I am
persuaded to agree that the composition cannot be accepted and
the further proceedings cannot be dropped.
