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.
