I heard learned counsel on both sides. I find that the application for composition of the offences is eligible to be accepted. The offence for which the petitioners have been convicted and sentenced are compoundable. 2. In the result, Crl.M.A.2685/2009 is accepted and consequently, in terms of Section 320(8) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, the composition of the offence shall have the effect of acquittal of the accused and it is so declared. 3. Consequently, conviction and sentence of the accused Crl.R.P.37/2000 2 are set aside. The Criminal Revision Petition is allowed. The fine amount deposited by the accused, if any, shall be refunded to them within three months from today. V.GIRI, Judge mrcs
