As per the impugned judgment under challenge, the conviction entered against the revision petitioners, who are accused 1 and 4 in the case, under Sections 323, 324 and 326 read with 34 I.P.C. and the sentence imposed on them to undergo simple imprisonment for different terms and to pay fine under each count, stand confirmed. 3.

Heard learned counsel for the revision petitioners and the second respondent and the learned Public Prosecutor. 6. The offence punishable under Section 323 I.P.C. is compoundable. The offence punishable under Section 324 I.P.C. was compoundable on the date of the incident. The offence punishable under Section 326 I.P.C. is not compoundable. 7. In Bijukumar vs. State of Kerala, 2013 (2) KHC 569 , this Court has held that even at the revisional stage, proceedings against an accused for committing a non-compoundable offence, can be quashed invoking inherent power of this Court under Section 482 Cr.P.C. 8. In the case at hand, the finding entered against the revision petitioners by the courts below is that they caused simple hurt to the second respondent by kicking him and by beating him with wooden sticks. In the case at hand, the finding entered against the revision petitioners by the courts below is that they caused simple hurt to the second respondent by kicking him and by beating him with wooden sticks. They were convicted for the offence under Section 326 I.P.C. with the aid of Section 34 I.P.C. as the second and the third accused had used swords to cause grievous hurt to the victim. The second and the third accused were absconding during the trial of the case. 9. Considering the nature of the overt acts committed by the revision petitioners and the other facts and circumstances of the case, I find that the power of this Court under Section 482 Cr.P.C. can be invoked to set aside the order of conviction and sentence passed against them by the courts below, in view of the settlement of the dispute between them and the second respondent. Learned counsel for the second respondent submitted that the entire matter is settled. I am satisfied that the settlement arrived at between the parties is genuine. 10. Consequently, I hereby quash the conviction entered and sentence imposed on the revision petitioners as per the judgment passed by the Judicial First Class Magistrate Court-II, Kottarakkara in the case C.C No. 1117/2009 and which stand confirmed by the Additional Sessions Court-III, Kollam in Crl. Appeal No. 165/2015. The revision petition and Crl. M.A. No. 1/2019 are disposed of accordingly. 11. However, it is made clear that this Court has not taken note of or recorded any settlement reached between the second respondent and the other accused in the case who were absconding at the time of the trial of the case. This order shall not have any effect on the trial of the case against the other accused in the case, who are/were absconding.
