Cr.R No.207/2002 & Cr.MP No.232/2009 Heard and gone through the record. Complainant has already filed an affidavit, to the effect that he has entered into a compromise with the revision petitioners, on the intervention of respectable persons of the area. Revision Petitioners have been convicted of offences, punishable under Sections 147, 451, 323, read with Section 149 of the Indian Penal Code. Offence, punishable under Section 323 of the Indian Penal Code, is compoundable, without the leave of the Court; and offence, punishable under Section 451 of the Indian Penal Code, is compoundable with the leave of the Court. Though offence, punishable under Section 147 of the Indian Penal Code, is not compoundable, yet this offence is not a serious offence, as the maximum sentence prescribed for it is six months imprisonment or fine or both. It has been held by the Hon’ble Supreme Court that in exercise of its inherent power, under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, the Court may permit the compounding of even non-compoundable offences, where such compounding would lead to peace. Citation is B.S. Joshi and others versus State of Haryana and another, (2003) 4 SCC 675. In view of the abovestated position, complainant’s request for leave to compound the offences is allowed and such leave …2… Cr.R No.207/2002 is granted. Offences having been compounded, as per affidavit of the complainant, the present revision petition is allowed and the judgment of the trial Court, convicting and sentencing the revision petitioners of offences, punishable under Sections 147, 451 and 323, read with Section 149 of the Indian Penal Code, as also the judgment of the first Appellate Court affirming the said judgment of the trial Court, are set aside and the revision petitioners are acquitted. Both the revision petition and the application (Cr.MP No.232 of 2009) stand disposed of. June 1, 2009(sd) (Surjit Singh), J.
