Surendra Singh All sons of Late Bhubneshwar Singh, resident of Village- Pokhararia, P.S. Sadar Hajipur, District-Vaishali at Hajipur ------- ------ Petitioners Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR 2. Shatrughan Singh S/O Late Jagdeo Singh, Vill- Pokhararia, P.S. Hajipur, District-Vaishali at Hajipur -------- ------ Opp.Parties. --------- For the petitioners : Mr. Subodh Kr. Jha, Advocate. For the State : Mr. S. Dayal, A.P.P. For the Opp.Party no.2 : None. ----------- 4 20-10-2008 After some arguments, the learned counsel for the petitioners prays for permission to withdraw this application. It has been stated that there has been a compromise between the parties. However, the said compromise cannot have any effect in the trial since an offence under Section 307 I.P.C., where under charges have been framed, is non-compoundable. However, in several decisions the Hon’ble Apex Court as well as this Court has held that the court may take a lenient view in view of the compromise arrived between the parties while awarding sentence to the accused in the event of a conviction. With the aforesaid observations, this application is dismissed as withdrawn. ( Abhijit Sinha, J) NKS/- - 2 -
