No.1421 OF 2008 ===================== Dated this the 25th day of April 2008 ORDER This revision petition is preferred against the judgment of the Sessions Judge, Kottayam in Crl.A.No.476 of 2007. By the said judgment the court allowed the appeal in part by directing the appellant to undergo simple imprisonment till rising of the court and to pay a sum of Rs. 45,000/- as compensation to the complainant under Section 357(3) Crl.P.C. In the light of the fact that the matter has been settled and the offence has been compounded it has become necessary to set aside the conviction and sentence passed by both the courts below. Therefore they are set aside and the Crl.R.P. is allowed. By virtue of the composition of the offence, the accused is deemed to be acquitted under Section 320(8) of the Code of Criminal Procedure.
