The petitioners are accused in CC.No.215 of 2017. Based on the complaint given by the second respondent that she and the first petitioner are living as husband and wife. Thereafter, she was subjected to various cruelty, complaint was registered and prosecution launched for the offence under Section land grabbing. In the said CC, till date, charges not framed, though six years are lapsed. In the meanwhile, the second respondent has filed an application for restitution for conjugal rights, but allowed the petition and get dismissed for default and has not taken any steps for restoration of the petition. In the said circumstances, both the defacto complainant and the petitioners have arrived at compromise to settle the dispute and hence want to withdraw the prosecution. Since there is no provision under Cr.P.C to compound or withdraw the prosecution or offence under Sections 420, 406, 294(b), 506(i) IPC altered into offences under Sections 420, 406, 312, 294(b) and 506(i) of IPC, they have now approached this Court by filing petition under Section 482 of Cr.P.C along with the Joint Compromise Memo.
