In view of the peculiar facts and circumstances of the case where petitioner No.2 and respondent No.2 are cousins and living neighbours and carrying out their agricultural operations day in and day out, any dispute or the physical injury caused a scare on the life of PW1, can be wiped out, if the case is compromised, as per the wish of PW1/respondent No.2, who voluntarily appeared before this Court and urged this Court to consider the joint memo.
8. as Considering the facts and circumstances of the present Section 324 IPC is non-compoundable, as per the

order as to costs. Interlocutory applications, if any, pending shall stand closed.
