During the subsistence of the investigation, the parties to the lis have arrived at a settlement by drawing up certain terms of settlement. The offences are the ones punishable under Sections 380 and 511 of the IPC. According to the parties to the lis, what the petitioner had attempted to was to break open the door of the place of business which attempt had failed and nothing happened. Therefore, the parties to the lis entered into a settlement by filing Joint Memo. In light of the offence itself not being met, I deem it appropriate to accept the application seeking compounding of the offence and obliterate the proceedings against the petitioner. The Joint Memo reads as follows: “The petitioner (accused. No. 1) and respondent. No.2 to have mutually agreed to compromise the offences alleged in C.C.

Chief Judicial Magistrate, Bangalore city, now transferred to 30th Addl. Chief Judicial Magistrate, Bangalore city. The respondent without any condition of his own accord has come forward to compound the offences alleged against the petitioner (accused.no.1) as both are friends and Consequently, the respondent No.2 is consenting for quashing of the proceedings against the petitioners in C.C. No. 4111/2019 arising out of Crime No.214/2017 of Kumaraswamy Layout Police Station Bangalore city and further proceedings, for the offences under section 454, 380 and 511 of IPC, which is pending on the file of Hon'ble 44th Addl.
