The facts in issue are as under :

Respondent No.2 is the husband of petitioner No.2. Their marriage took place on 08.12.2005. They lived happily for few days and later petitioner No.2 developed hatred against respondent No.2 as he is not a government employee. Finally she left the company of respondent No.2. After leaving, respondent No.2 came to know that petitioner No.2 was already married to one T.Srinivasa Moorthy and the first husband of petitioner No.2 filed O.P.No.107 of 2002 seeking divorce. As per the educational certificates of petitioner No.2, her age is 33 years and she is elder by morethan one year. The said fact was also suppressed by the petitioners.

Today the petitioners and respondent No.2 are present in the court and they are identified by their respective counsel. When

examined, respondent No.2 stated that he has settled the matter with the petitioners and is not interested in pursuing the matter. The affidavit filed by respondent No.2 also indicates the same. In view of the fact that there is a settlement between the parties and as the offences under Sections 417 and 506 IPC are compoundable, Crl.P.M.P.No.8188 of 2016 seeking permission of the Court for compounding the offences is allowed. Accordingly, the Crl.P.M.P.No.8188 of 2016 is ordered by compounding the offences.
