IN THE HIGH COURT OF BOMBAY AT GOA CRIMINAL REVISION APPLICATION NO. 20 OF 2009 SHRI. GAURISH KARAPURKAR ... Petitioner Versus STATE OF GOA THROUGH PUBLIC PROSECUTOR ... Respondent Mr. V. A. Lawande, Advocate for the Petitioner. Ms. W. Coutinho, Public Prosecutor for the Respondent. Coram:- N. A. BRITTO, J. Date:- 2nd April, 2009 P.C.: Heard Shri Lawande on behalf of the petitioner/accused and Ms. Coutinho, the learned Public Prosecutor on behalf of the respondent. 2. The petitioner/accused has been convicted under Sections 279, 337, 338 IPC and in terms of Section 357(3) was directed to pay compensation of Rs. 10,000/- to PW1/Dattaram Thali, who was injured in the said accident. Today, an application has been filed for permission to compound the offences. The said PW1/Dattaram Thali has also filed an application signed by him. He is present before the Court. He has stated in the application that the petitioner/accused has paid the compensation of Rs. 10,000/- to him, for the hurt caused and, therefore, he has voluntarily compounded the offence with the accused. The said compromise is accepted and, as a result thereof, the applicant/accused shall stand acquitted under Sections 337,338 IPC. 3. The offence under Section 279 is not compoundable. It cannot be compounded with permission of the Court as submitted by the learned Public Prosecutor. Learned Counsel on behalf of the petitioner/accused submits that the petitioner/accused has undergone imprisonment of one day on 25/03/2009, after he was sent to jail by the learned Sessions Judge and, therefore, has submitted that the said period be treated as substantive sentence imposed upon the petitioner/accused. 4. Considering that the petitioner/accused has compounded the offences under Sections 337, 338 IPC with the injured, this revision petition can be closed by treating the said period of imprisonment as substantive sentence imposed by the accused under Section 279 IPC. To that extent, the orders of the Courts below would stand accordingly modified. Revision petition disposed of. Bail bonds discharged. Both the applications filed be placed on record. N. A.
