TO JUDGE rs S.S.SATHEESACHANDRAN, J -------------------------------------- Crl.R.P No.1890 OF 2006 -------------------------------- Dated this the 29th day of July 2011 ORDER This is an application moved by the revision petitioner for compounding the offences with which he now stands convicted by the Magistrate as confirmed by the learned Sessions Judge in appeal. In the application, apart from the revision petitioner/accused, the de facto complainant/injured is also a signatory. The respective counsel appearing for the petitioner and also the injured have subscribed their signatures, indicating prima facie that a composition of the offences have been made out by the accused with the de facto complainant, the injured. When such composition petition was presented before this court, direction was given to the Public Prosecutor to ascertain and report, after having due inquiry, whether the composition purported to have been effected by the parties can be acted upon. The Public Prosecutor submits that the parties have been summoned to the local police station, statements were recorded from them and in such inquiry, it has been found that a valid composition of the offences has been made by the parties. In the aforesaid circumstances, I find, the request made for composition of Crl.R.P No.1890/2006 - 2 - the offences can be accepted, and it is ordered accordingly. In the light of the acceptance of the composition, conviction and sentence imposed against the accused for the offences under Sections 323 and 341 shall stand set aside and he is acquitted of such offences. Revision is disposed of. Sd/- vdv S.S.SATHEESACHANDRAN, JUDGE //True Copy// P.A to Judge
