Statements of parties were recorded by the learned Magistrate. Respondents no.2 and 3 are present in person. They have been identified by SI Jagan Nath, who has come to assist the State counsel. Respondents no.2 and 3 state that they have effected compromise Annexure P-4 and have also affirmed affidavit Annexure P-5 regarding the compromise, and therefore, they have no objection if the impugned FIR is quashed. It is also stated by them that the amount, as per compromise, has been paid to them by the petitioner. In appropriate cases, FIR can be quashed by this Court on the basis of compromise by exercising inherent power under Section 482 Cr.P.C., even if the offences are not compoundable.
