2. Heard the learned Government Pleader as well.

3. After hearing both the sides, in view of the willingness expressed from the part of the petitioner to have the offence compounded, conceding the guilt, this Court finds it fit and proper to direct the respondent to compound the offence.

The position shall be reported to the concerned authorities/Court.

The writ petition is closed accordingly.
