                                                                          2

                                    injured witness namely Jai Pal S/o Shyam Lal and Dulari Devi W/o Asha Ram have

                                    entered into compromise, which has been filed by them in the compromise affidavit

                                    dated 25/27.3.2025. Since the injured and the appellants have settled their dispute

                                    amicably and injured. Furthermore, the compromise arrived at between the parties

                                    dated 23.1.2025 has been duly verified by the learned trial Court vide order dated

                                    24.12.2025. It is further submitted that the parties does not want to proceed with the

                                    case against the appellants, therefore, this appeal be decided in terms of compromise

                                    entered into between the parties.


                                    4. Learned A.G.A. has no objection in this regard.


                                    5. From the perusal of supplementary affidavit filed on behalf of the appellants and the

                                    injured Ram Sewak, it appears that the injured has agreed not to proceed with the case

                                    and has settled their dispute amicably with the appellants and there is joint request to

                                    decide the appeal in terms of compromise arrived at between the parties.


                                    6. In the considered opinion of this Court, since the parties have entered into

                                    compromise and in the scheme of Section 320 Cr. P.C., the composition of the offence

                                    is permissible between the parties at the instance of the injured, therefore, this appeal

                                    is decided in terms of compromise as entered into between the parties.


                                    7. Thus, this appeal is disposed of in terms of compromise entered into between the

                                    parties and the appellants stand acquitted of the charge under Sections 324/34, 452,

                                    506 I.P.C. They are on bail, they need not to surrender. Their personal bond and

                                    sureties are discharged.
