4.
The parties have compromised the matter. The compromise pursis, which is containing the terms, has been produced on record. Terms of compromise have been got verified through the Registrar (Judicial) and learned Registrar (Judicial) has submitted his report on 8th September 2025. In the said terms of compromise, it has been stated that the above
mentioned FIR was lodged due to misunderstanding. However, the dispute between the parties has now been amicably settled with the intervention of some elderly persons from the village. The parties have arrived at a mutual compromise, considering the future relations. Both the parties now, desire to put an end to all criminal litigations and wish to live in peace and harmony. 5.
We had asked the learned APP to take instructions as to whether the informant has received any amount under the schemes for the persons from scheduled caste and scheduled tribe category when offence is alleged to have been committed against them. The learned APP informs that the informant has not received any amount. In view of the same, when the parties want to keep good relations, though the offences under the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act are anti-social, we permit the offence to be compounded and therefore, there is no hurdle in allowing the Application. However, since the entire machinery has been utilized, we impose costs on the applicant as well as on respondent No.2. Hence, the following order:-
O R D E R
