HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N. RAVI SHANKAR CRIMINAL PETITION No.4783 of 2011 ORDER:- Petitioner is accused in Crime No.65 of 2011 of Gudur Police Station, Krishna District. The offence alleged is punishable under Section 354 IPC. 2. The record filed by the petitioner shows that after giving report to the police, the victim gave another statement before the police saying that she never intended to give any complaint or report against the petitioner and that somebody mischievously obtained her signatures on blank papers and created the police report. The petitioner’s counsel says that basing on such statement of the de facto complainant the petitioner was also granted bail. The petitioner’s counsel now says that in view of the above statement of the complainant the case should be quashed. The matter is still pending investigation. 3. It is next submitted by the petitioner’s counsel that the parties have compromised now and therefore the FIR should be quashed on that ground. It may be noted that the offence punishable under Section 354 IPC is compoundable one and if the parties have compromised they can approach the concerned court or the lok adalat having jurisdiction over the matter where the compromise can be recorded. 4. The Criminal Petition is accordingly disposed of. ______________________ N. RAVI SHANKAR, J 21st June 2011 CVRK
