Case brief
What is this about?
Keywords: Lok Adalat; compounding of offence; jurisdiction of Lok Adalat; injured party not present; compromise; status report; extraordinary jurisdiction; Cr. MMO No. 1077 of 2025; High Court of Himachal Pradesh, Shimla; Justice Rakesh Kainthla; State of HP v. Ramesh Chand and another; decided 2.12.2025; petition dismissed; no statute or precedent discussed; not approved for reporting.
What did the court decide?
The very premise of the petition — that Sumeena Kumari was not ready to compound the offence — does not survive, as the status report records that she has compromised the matter and does not want to proceed further. ¶12
