KRISHNAN, J. --------------------------- CRL.R.P.NO.1091 OF 2002 ------------------------------ Dated this the 20th day of July, 2009 0 R D E R This revision petition is preferred against the judgment of the Sessions Judge in Crl.A.No176/2000. That appeal was preferred against the conviction and sentence passed in C.C.No.400/1998 of the JFCM, Wadakkanchery. The trial court convicted the accused to undergo S.I for nine months and to pay an amount of Rs.14,000/= under Section 357(3) of Cr.P.C. In appeal, the learned Sessions Judge reduced the sentence to two months by retaining the other parts. Now as per Crl.M.A.No.6904/2009, the matter has been settled between the parties. The compounding has been permitted and it has been recorded. Therefore, the conviction and sentence passed by the courts below are liable to be set aside and I do so. The Crl.R.P is disposed of as the matter is compounded between the parties and compounding of the offence shall have the effect of an acquittal under Section 320 (8) of the Criminal Procedure Code.
