The Petitioner is facing trial in Crime No.130/2023, culminating in C.C.No.501/2024, arising out of Kanakapura Police Station, for the offences punishable under Sections 420 and 406 read with Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code, which is presently pending on the file of the Hon'ble Principal Civil Judge and JMFC, Kanakapura. The matter is presently posted for the appearance of the accused.
2. The parties submit that the disputes between them have been amicably resolved pursuant to the settlement arrived at in the connected civil suit. A Joint Compromise Petition has been filed in the said suit, and in paragraph No.12 thereof, the Respondent No.2/De facto Complainant has agreed to extend his full cooperation for quashing the aforesaid criminal proceedings. In view of the said settlement, no dispute or grievance now survives between the parties.
3. The Petitioner and the Respondent No.2/De facto Complainant have voluntarily entered into the present compromise without any force, coercion, undue influence, or misrepresentation and have jointly decided to seek quashing of the criminal proceedings in the interest of maintaining peace and harmony between them. The Petitioner respectfully prays that the averments made in the accompanying Criminal Petition may kindly be treated as part and parcel of this Joint Compromise Memo to avoid repetition.
WHEREFORE, the petitioner and Victim most humbly pray this Hon'ble court be pleased to accept their joint compromise affidavit and permit them compound the offences made against him in Crime No.130/2023 In CC.
