JUDGMENT : 1. By the order dated 1.2.93 we had desired to know what sentence the respondent had undergone when the High Court passed the impugned order. Now we find that the sentence undergone was hardly one month and three days. We are, therefore, afraid that what the High Court has actually done is to permit the parties to compound a matter which is not compoundable. We also find from the record that the respondent has, in no manner atoned his fault, if any. If the guilt is proved, the offence is of a fairly serious nature and cannot be condoned in this fashion. Therefore, we entertain this appeal by granting Special Leave. Bailable warrant to issue. Bail to the satisfaction of the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Saharanpur. 2. Printing dispensed with.
