Balagangadhar, learned counsel appearing for respondent No. 2. nd 3.
Learned counsel for the petitioner and the 2 respondent would submit that the parties to the lis, during the pendency of the proceedings, have resolved the dispute between the two and have drawn up certain terms of settlement. An application is filed in this regard before this Court under Section 320(2) of Cr. P. C. , seeking to compound the offences along with a joint affidavit of the parties, which also recognizes closure of the present proceedings. 4. The application filed by the parties reads as follows: “Full from point No. 1. “1. That the above case is filed before the Trial Court for the offences punishable under Section 498A, 323, 504 and 506 of IPC. 2. Both the parties submit that at the instance of elders and well wishers they have settled all the disputes and they have withdrawn allegations made against each other in all the proceedings and they have obtained divorce and the Accused/Petitioner has paid permanent alimony nd of Rs.
50,00,000/- to the 2 Respondent/Complainant which she has received. - 4 - CRL. P No. 13797 of 2024 3. In view of the compromise, they don't want to continue the above proceedings and hence the Hon'ble Court may kindly permit them to compromise the above matter and to quash the entire proceedings before the Trial Court. Wherefore the above named Petitioner/Accused and nd 2 Respondent/Complainant humbly prays the Hon'ble Court to permit them to compound the case in CC.

Since the offences punishable as afore-mentioned are not heinous and also are not against the State or the Society, I deem it appropriate to accept the application seeking compounding of the offence and obliterate the proceedings pending against the petitioner. 6.
For the aforesaid reasons, the following: ORDER (i) The Criminal Petition stands disposed. (ii) Impugned proceedings in C. C.
