ORDER1. Heard the learned Counselfor the Petitioner.2. A criminal case is pending before the trial Court against the respondents 2 to 7 herein for the offences under Sections 326 and 341 IPC. The petitioner is PW I. PW1 and the accused entered into a compromise and sought permission of the Court below for compounding of the offences. Under the agreement the accused had to pay an amount of Rs.25,000/- to the petitioner-complainant. The learned Magistrate did not allow the application and dismissed it on the ground that the accused had been charged underSection 326 1PC which was non-compoundable.3. In my view, there is nothing wrong in the order and the Magistrate had no option but to reject the application for compounding of offence which is expressly non-compoundable in terms of the Criminal Procedure Code. However, the learned Counsel for the petitioner relies on a judgment of the Supreme Court reported in Motet. Rafi v. State of Uttar Pradesh, 1998 (1) ALD 724. The judgment to which ...
