Gian Singh vs State Of Punjab & Anr on 24 September, 2012
10.It is to be noted that in Gian Singh vs. State of Punjab (2012) 10
SCC 303, it has been held that the High Court by invoking its inherent powers
under Section 482 Cr.P.C can accept the compromise between the parties and
permit compounding or even quash in appropriate cases even if the offences
are of non-compoundable nature. Now, taking into consideration the case on
hand, the charge and conviction against the petitioner is for the offence
under Section 417 IPC. As per Section 320 Cr.P.C., offence under Section 417
IPC is compoundable. In this case, the petitioner and the defacto complainant
are relatives and they have compromised among themselves and they have
expressed their intention to give a quietus to the issues and in such
circumstances, this Court deems it fit to accept the Memo of Compromise and
permit the petitioner to compound the case and give a quietus to the dispute
in the interest of justice.
