IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CR. REV. No.254 of 2008 TIL LIMITED THRU A.MAZUMDAR & ANR Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ANR ----------- For the Petitioner :- Mr. Chittaranjan Sinha (Sr. Adv.) Kumar Manish (Adv.) Parul Ranjan For the Opposite Party No. 2 :- Mr. Dhruv Mukharjee (Adv.) 4 13.04.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners as per as learned counsel for the opposite parties. The petitioners are accused under Sections 415, 420 and 120B of the Indian Penal Code in Complaint Case No. 176(C)/1992. It appears that both the main offences are compoundable under Section 320(2) of the Cr.P.C. 120 B of the Indian Penal Code refers to forming conspiracy to commit aforesaid acts. The petitioners and opposite parties have settled their dispute outside the court and they also filed a petition on 4.4.2005 for compounding the offence in the learned court below. Opposite party no. 2 does not have any objection to the petition filed for compounding of offences. It appears that the learned trial court did not pass any order on the same, as an application against an order under Section 205 of the Cr.P.C, was pending consideration before this Court in Cr. Revision No. 368 of 2005 as the - 2 - parties have settled the dispute, outside the court, no useful purpose would be served, by allowing the proceeding to linger any further. Both Sections 415 and 420 are compoundable under Section 320(2) by the permission of the court. As the parties have compromised the matter out side the court, this court allows compounding of the offence. As a result the order taking cognizance and prosecution case pending in the learned court below arising out of Complaint Case No. 176(c)1992 is hereby quashed. Kundan (S. P. Singh, J.)
