There shall be a direction to the first respondent to permit the petitioner to compound the offence on payment of Rs.25,000/- (Rupees twenty-five thousand only). There shall be a further direction to the first respondent to release the vehicle to the petitioner, on payment as above. Needless to say, once the offence is compounded, no prosecution proceedings shall be initiated against the petitioner in

W.P.(C) No.13993 of 2015 2 respect of the incident which led to the instant writ petition. If a report has already been lodged in the competent criminal court, a further report to the effect that the offence has been compounded shall also be filed.
