[2026:RJ-JP:3885] (2 of 4) [CRLR-147/2026]

of payment of fine, to further undergo 4 months’ simple imprisonment,

has been affirmed.

2. At the very out-set, learned counsel for the petitioner has

submitted that the petitioner’s brother and the respondent-complainant

have entered into compromise, in furtherance of which, entire amount

has been received by the respondent-complainant. The original

compromise has been annexed with the petition. The petitioner is in

judicial custody since long. He has, therefore, prayed that the original

compromise may be taken on record and on the basis of compromise,

the revision petition may also be allowed, the judgments passed by the

courts below may be set aside and the petitioner be set at liberty.

3. Learned counsel for the respondent-complainant has not

disputed the factum of said compromise. He, on instructions, of the

respondent-complainant has submitted that in furtherance of the

compromise, entire amount has already been received by the

respondent-complainant and he does not want any further proceeding

in this matter. He has, thus, submitted that the respondent-complainant

has no objection, if the original compromise is taken on record,

revision petition is also allowed on the basis of compromise and the

petitioner is set at liberty.

4. Today, the respondent complainant and the petitioner’s

brother, both are present in person before this Court. Their signature

have been obtained on the Court’s order sheet and they have been

identified by their counsel.

5. Learned counsel for the petitioner has made oral prayer

for grant of exemption to the petitioner from depositing the cost. He

has submitted that the petitioner is a poor person, who is facing

financial crisis. On account of his poor economic condition, the

petitioner has anyhow arranged the money and paid to the

complainant in view of the compromise. He has also submitted that if

any cost is imposed on the petitioner in relation to the compromise, it

would cause extreme hardship to the petitioner. He has, thus, prayed

to grant exemption to the petitioner from depositing the cost.

6. I have given my thoughtful consideration to the

submissions advanced at bar and have gone through material

available on record.

7. From perusal of record, it reveals that the petitioner’s

brother and the complainant have amicably settled their dispute and

entered into comprom
