This petition has been filed under Section 482, Cr. P.C. against the order of the learned Munsif and Judicial Magistrate, Sri Ganganagar, dated 2nd January, 1993 by which he refused permission under Section 320, Cr. P.C. for compounding offences punishable under Sections 406 and 498A, IPC. The facts of the case may be summarised thus:&#8211;\n<\/p>\n<p>2. FIR No. 91\/92 was registered at the police station, Matili Rathan (Sri Ganganagar) under Sections 406 and 498A, IPC. at the instance of the petitioner against her husband Baldeo Singh. After necessary investigation, the Police filed challan against her husband Baldeo Singh, father-in-law and mother-in-law under Sections 406 and 498A, IPC in the Court of Munsif-cum-Judicial Magistrate, Sri Ganganagar. An application under Section 320, Cr. P.C. was moved by the complainant Gurucharankaur for the grant of permission to compound the said offences. The learned Magistrate dismissed the application and refused the permission as the offences were not compoundable.\n<\/p>\n<p>3. It is contended by learned counsel for the petitioner that a compromise has been effected in between the complainant Gurcharan Kaur and her husband Baldev Singh, they are living together happily, if the case continues their relation may again become strained, and it is in the interest of both the parties that permission to compound the said offences is granted. He relies upon Surendra Nathmal Rathi v. State of Maharashtra 1992 Cri LJ 2106 (Bombay), Smt. Jasoda v. State of Rajasthan, 1992 Cri LR (Raj) 530 and State of Karnataka v. Basavaraju, (1990) 2 Crimes 196.\n<\/p>\n<p>4. The learned Public Prosecutor submits that it has been held in 1983 Cri LJ 109 (Cal) that when an offence is not compounable under Section 320, Cr. P.C. permission should not be granted for compounding it.\n<\/p>\n<p>5. It is not in dispute that on the information of the petitioner Gurusharan Kaur the case was registered against her husband Baldev Singh, father-in-law and mother-in-law under Sections 406 and 498A, IPC, the parties have compounded their dispute and are living together. It is in their interest that the said offences are compounded. The reported cases cited by the learned counsel, duly support him. In the facts and circumstances of the case, the petition deserves to be allowed.\n<\/p>\n<p>6. The petition moved under Section 482, Cr. P.C. is allowed. The order of the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Sri Ganganagar dated 2nd January, 1993 is set aside. He is directed to grant permission to the wife-petitioner Gursharan Kaur for compounding in the offence punishable under Sections 406 and 498A, IPC.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rajasthan High Court Gursharan Kaur vs State Of Rajasthan on 21 January, 1993 Equivalent citations: 1993 CriLJ 2076 Author: M Chandra Bench: M Chandra ORDER Milap Chandra, J. 1.
