before this Court with a prayer that the extra ordinary inherent
jurisdiction under Section 482 Cr.P.C. as enabled by the dictum in
Madan Mohan Abbot v. State of Punjab (2008 (3) KLT 19), Nikil
Merchant v. C.B.I. (2008 (3) KLT 769) and Manoj Sharma v.
State (2008 (4) KLT 417 (SC) may be invoked to bring to premature
termination this prosecution against the petitioners and the 5th
respondent, which has now become irrelevant and unnecessary.
B.S. Joshi & Ors vs State Of Haryana & Anr on 13 March, 2003

that the offence is not compoundable under Section 320 Cr.P.C. would
Crl.M.C.No. 4260 of 2008

not fetter the extra ordinary inherent jurisdiction available to this Court
under Section 482 Cr.P.C. to quash the proceedings. Reliance is
placed in the decisions in B.S. Joshi v. State of Haryana (AIR 2003
SC 1386) as also the decisions referred above in support of this
proposition. The learned Prosecutor argues that the mere fact that the
parties have compounded the offences even when the offences are non-
compoundable is not sufficient to invoke the jurisdiction under Section
482 Cr.P.C. The crucial question is whether the dispute is one which is
private and personal between the indictees and the victims. Even when
the offence is not compoundable, in an appropriate case, it will be open
to the court to hold that the dispute is one which is private and
personal between the parties. This court has alertly got to verify
whether any issues of public justice or the interests of public are
involved. Only if those questions are answered in the negative, can the
jurisdiction under Section 482 Cr.P.C. be invoked on the ground that
there has been a composition of the non-compoundable offences.
M.S. Santhoshkumar vs K.G. Mohanan on 10 July, 2008
9. I have adverted to this aspect of the matter in the decisions in
Santhoshkumar v. Mohanan (2008 (3) KLT 461 and Babeesh @
Babin Kumar v. S.I. of Police (2008 (3) KHC 713). I am satisfied,
in the facts and circumstances, that it is impossible to come to a
conclusion that the dispute is one which is private and personal
between the parties. Going by the materials collected, it is political
animosity which has prompted the accused persons to trespass into the
residential building of the victims after making sufficient prior
preparations and to indulge in the acts of violence.
