No. 1695 of 2010 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Dated, this the 19th day of May, 2010 ORDER Petitioner who is the sole accused in Crime No. 299 of 2010 of Medical College Police Station, Thiruvananthapuram for offences punishable under Sections 201, 420 and 506 (i) I.P.C. seeks to quash the final report filed in the above case. During the crime stage the matter has been settled between the petitioners and the 2nd respondent/de facto complainant (who is represented by his counsel) as evidenced by Annexure A2 affidavit. Since the main dispute between the parties is a monetary dispute, eventhough the offence punishable under Sec. 201 I.P.C. is non-compoundable, in the light of the decision in Madan Mohan Abbot v. State of Punjab – 2003 )3) KLT 19 (SC), I am inclined to permit the parties to compound the offences in exercise of the power under Sec. 482 Crl.M.C. No. 1695 of 2010 -:2:- Cr.P.C. Accordingly, the aforesaid offences are permitted to be compounded. Annexure -I final report shall stand quashed accordingly. This Crl.M.C. is allowed as above. Dated this the 19th day of May, 2010.
