Counsel for the parties have filed IA No.8 of 2023 under Section 320(2) of Cr.P.C. for permission to compound the offence. 3. It is submitted that the matter has been compromised by the appellants and the complainant and alleged cheated amount of Rs.31,01,111/- has been paid to the complainant through demand draft.
