1.       Leave granted.\n<\/p>\n
                                                                       2<\/span><\/p>\n
2.          The present appeal is directed against<\/p>\n
the    judgment       and     order       of     conviction      and<\/p>\n
sentence      recorded        by    the        First    Additional<\/p>\n
Sessions      Judge,        Ujjain,       Madhya       Pradesh   on<\/p>\n
December 2, 1994 in Sessions Trial No.258 of<\/p>\n
1993 and confirmed by the High Court of Madhya<\/p>\n
Pradesh (Indore Bench) on September 11, 2007 in<\/p>\n
Criminal Appeal No.817 of 1994.\n<\/p>\n
3.          The case of the prosecution was that<\/p>\n
on March 3, 1993 between 7.00 and 8.00 a.m., P-<\/p>\n
4    Devi   Singh     was    attacked       by    four    persons,<\/p>\n
Ishwar      Singh,    Laxman       Singh,       Dule    Singh    and<\/p>\n
Ganpat Singh, accused Nos.1 to 4 respectively.<\/p>\n
All the accused were, therefore, charged for<\/p>\n
commission of offences punishable under Section<\/p>\n
307 read with Section 34, Indian Penal Code,<\/p>\n
1860     (IPC).      After    usual       investigation,         the<\/p>\n
matter was committed to the Court of Session in<\/p>\n
view of charge under Section 307, IPC which was<\/p>\n
exclusively triable by a Court of Session.<\/p>\n
4.          The learned Judge, vide his Judgment<\/p>\n
and Order dated December 2, 1994, held that the
\n                                                                 3<\/span><\/p>\n
prosecution       was        successful       in       partly<\/p>\n
establishing     the    case.         On    the    basis   of<\/p>\n
evidence of prosecution witnesses, the trial<\/p>\n
Court held that it would be appropriate to give<\/p>\n
benefit of doubt to accused Nos.2 to 4 and<\/p>\n
accordingly, the trial Court acquitted three<\/p>\n
accused. Regarding accused No.1 Ishwar Singh<\/p>\n
(appellant herein), the Court ruled that it was<\/p>\n
proved `beyond reasonable doubt’ that he had<\/p>\n
attacked victim Devi Singh and had administered<\/p>\n
knife    blows   on    the   person    of    the    injured.<\/p>\n
Accordingly,     the    Court     convicted        appellant-<\/p>\n
accused No.1 for an offence punishable under<\/p>\n
Section 307, IPC.\n<\/p>\n
5.         Regarding     quantum      of    sentence,      the<\/p>\n
Court observed that at the time of incident,<\/p>\n
Ishwar Singh was aged about 20 years and it was<\/p>\n
his first offence. Considering those factors,<\/p>\n
the trial Court ordered him to suffer rigorous<\/p>\n
imprisonment for three years and to pay a fine<\/p>\n
of      Rs.1,000\/-,     in      default,      to      undergo<\/p>\n
imprisonment for six months more.
\n                                                              4<\/span><\/p>\n
6.         The order of conviction and sentence<\/p>\n
was challenged by accused No.1-appellant herein<\/p>\n
by filing Criminal Appeal No.817 of 1994.               The<\/p>\n
High   Court     of   Madhya   Pradesh    (Indore   Bench)<\/p>\n
again considered the evidence on record and the<\/p>\n
findings recorded by the trial Court and held<\/p>\n
that no error either of fact or of law had been<\/p>\n
committed by the trial Court and the order of<\/p>\n
conviction recorded by the High Court was in<\/p>\n
consonance with law.           Regarding sentence also,<\/p>\n
the High Court held that it could not be said<\/p>\n
that the sentence awarded on the appellant was<\/p>\n
excessive or harsh. Accordingly, the appeal was<\/p>\n
dismissed. The appellant who was on bail was<\/p>\n
directed    to     surrender     and     to   undergo   the<\/p>\n
remainder part of the sentence.\n<\/p>\n
7.         The said order is challenged in the<\/p>\n
present appeal.         On January 15, 2008, notice<\/p>\n
was issued by this Court.          On August 13, 2008,<\/p>\n
at the oral prayer of learned counsel for the<\/p>\n
appellant, injured Devi Singh was ordered to be<\/p>\n
joined as party respondent No.2 and notice was
\n                                                                    5<\/span><\/p>\n
issued to him by making it returnable within<\/p>\n
two   weeks.      The   notice       was    served     and    the<\/p>\n
injured appeared through a lawyer.<\/p>\n
8.         We have heard learned counsel for the<\/p>\n
parties.\n<\/p>\n
9.         The learned counsel for the appellant<\/p>\n
stated     that     during      the        pendency     of    the<\/p>\n
proceedings        before        this        Court,      mutual<\/p>\n
compromise        has   been     arrived           between    the<\/p>\n
parties, i.e. accused-Ishwar Singh on the one<\/p>\n
hand and the complainant-victim Devi Singh on<\/p>\n
the other hand.\n<\/p>\n
10.        An   affidavit       is    also     filed    by    the<\/p>\n
appellant-accused        No.1        in     this     Court.    In<\/p>\n
paragraph 3, it is sated;\n<\/p>\n
            “The accused petitioner and the
\n      complainant Devi Singh are members of
\n      the    same   community    and    reside
\n      permanently in the same village and
\n      are also related to each other.      Now
\n      the relations between the accused and
\n      the complainant and their families are
\n      cordial and there is no surviving
\n      dispute   of  any   kind   between   the
\n      parties.     Father of the accused,
\n      Shankarlalji    is    uncle    of    the
\n      complainant. He is very old and due to
\n      old age he needs to be looked after by
\n                                                                   6<\/span><\/p>\n
       his son i.e. accused Ishwar Singh. If
\n       Ishwar Singh is released from jail in
\n       view of the cordial relations between
\n       the parties, both the families would
\n       be able to live together peacefully
\n       without any ill will”.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
11.          It was, therefore, jointly prayed on<\/p>\n
behalf of the parties that the appellant may be<\/p>\n
released      by    treating        the   sentence     already<\/p>\n
undergone          by    the        appellant-accused        as<\/p>\n
sufficient.\n<\/p>\n
12.          An affidavit is also filed by victim<\/p>\n
Devi Singh wherein he has stated that he is the<\/p>\n
complainant-injured.           It    is   stated     that    the<\/p>\n
contents in the affidavit filed by appellant<\/p>\n
accused      regarding    compromise       between     accused<\/p>\n
No.1 and the complainant are true. A prayer was<\/p>\n
made by the learned counsel for the parties to<\/p>\n
dispose of appeal on the basis of compromise<\/p>\n
between the parties.\n<\/p>\n
13.          Now,   it   cannot      be   gainsaid    that    an<\/p>\n
offence punishable under Section 307, IPC is<\/p>\n
not a compoundable offence. Section 320 of the<\/p>\n
Code    of    Criminal     Procedure,       1973     expressly
\n                                                                 7<\/span><\/p>\n
states that no offence shall be compounded if<\/p>\n
it is not compoundable under the Code.                 At the<\/p>\n
same    time,    however,      while   dealing    with    such<\/p>\n
matters, this Court may take into account a<\/p>\n
relevant       and     important    consideration        about<\/p>\n
compromise between the parties for the purpose<\/p>\n
of reduction of sentence.\n<\/p>\n
14.        In Jetha Ram v. State of Rajasthan,<\/a><\/p>\n
(2006)     9     SCC    255,    Murugesan     &    Ors.    v.<\/p>\n
Ganapathy       Velar,<\/a>     (2001)      10   SCC    504    and<\/p>\n
Ishwarlal v. State of M.P., JT 1988 (3) SC 366<\/p>\n
(1), this Court, while taking into account the<\/p>\n
fact of compromise between the parties, reduced<\/p>\n
sentence imposed on the appellant-accused to<\/p>\n
already undergone, though the offences were not<\/p>\n
compoundable. But it was also stated that in<\/p>\n
Mahesh Chand v. State of Rajasthan, AIR 1988 SC<\/p>\n
2111,     such       offence     was    ordered     to      be<\/p>\n
compounded.\n<\/p>\n
15.        In    our    considered     opinion,   it     would<\/p>\n
not be appropriate to order compounding of an
\n                                                                       8<\/span><\/p>\n
offence     not      compoundable           under      the      Code<\/p>\n
ignoring      and          keeping        aside         statutory<\/p>\n
provisions. In our judgment, however, limited<\/p>\n
submission     of     the    learned         counsel     for     the<\/p>\n
appellant     deserves       consideration            that     while<\/p>\n
imposing substantive sentence, the factum of<\/p>\n
compromise    between        the     parties      is    indeed     a<\/p>\n
relevant circumstance which, the Court may keep<\/p>\n
in mind.\n<\/p>\n
16.        In the instant case, the incident took<\/p>\n
place     before     more    than       fifteen       years;     the<\/p>\n
parties     are     residing       in   one     and     the     same<\/p>\n
village     and     they     are     also     relatives.         The<\/p>\n
appellant was about 20 years of age at the time<\/p>\n
of    commission      of    crime.      It     was     his     first<\/p>\n
offence.     After conviction, the petitioner was<\/p>\n
taken into custody.            During the pendency of<\/p>\n
appeal before the High Court, he was enlarged<\/p>\n
on bail but, after the decision of the High<\/p>\n
Court, he again surrendered and is in jail at<\/p>\n
present. Though he had applied for bail, the<\/p>\n
prayer was not granted and he is not released
\n                                                                                                  9<\/span><\/p>\n
on bail.     Considering the totality of facts and<\/p>\n
circumstances, in our opinion, ends of justice<\/p>\n
would be met if the sentence of imprisonment<\/p>\n
awarded     to   the    appellant                 (Accused                   No.1)           is<\/p>\n
reduced to the period already undergone.<\/p>\n
17.         For the foregoing reasons, the appeal<\/p>\n
deserves to be partly allowed and accordingly<\/p>\n
allowed by maintaining the conviction recorded<\/p>\n
by    the   trial      court        and            confirmed                      by        the<\/p>\n
Appellate Court but by reducing the sentence<\/p>\n
already      undergone     by             the             appellant.                        The<\/p>\n
sentence of payment of fine is not disturbed.<\/p>\n
If the appellant has not paid the amount of<\/p>\n
fine, he will pay such amount within four weeks<\/p>\n
from today.\n<\/p>\n
18.         Ordered accordingly.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
