Indeed, the offences, for which the petitioners are facing trial, are non-compoundable.

State of Punjab and another, 2007 (3) RCR (Criminal) 1052. In view of the above and particularly keeping in view the peculiar facts of this case that the dispute is between the husband and wife and now they are leading a happy married life, the Criminal Misc. No. M-5722 of 2011 (O&M) (2) petition is accepted, FIR No.178 dated December 8th, 2009, registered under Sections 147 and 307 read with Section 149 IPC in Police Station Raikot, District Ludhiana and subsequent proceedings arising therefrom, are hereby quashed.
