7 The complainant has stated that he has no objection if the criminal complaint is quashed. We have interviewed the complainant on the last occasion. Therefore, there is no impediment in quashing the criminal compliant. Two of the accused are quite young and we are of the view that voluntary offer given by them can be accepted so that it will have sobering effect on them in future and they will not take recourse to such physical violence. So far as the Code of Criminal Procedure or the Indian Penal Code is concerned, there is no provision for offering a community service and as such this court, cannot give such directions to the parties, who came before us for quashing of the criminal compliant. However, there is a change in the legal jurisprudence and we find that under the POCSO Act, there is reference made in the Act itself, that in addition to the penal consequences which are awarded to accused persons, the Court can also direct the accused, who are juvenile, to do the community services. The rational behind very such a direction is to make young generation aware of their responsibilities and social obligations.
