Offence under Sec.420 of the Code is compoundable with permission of the court. Hence permission is granted and Crl.M.A.No.6859 of 2009 is allowed. The composition entered between petitioner and defacto complainant is accepted and that shall have the effect of acquittal of petitioner under Sec.320(8) of the Code of Criminal Procedure.
