Where a particular offence is compound-able by a particular person it is not even necessary for the Court to insist on a joint petition by that person and the accused. Even if the person who is entitled to compound the offence by himself files a petition before Court stating that the matter has been compounded and the case may be closed the Court will be bound to accept the same and close the case except in appropriate cases where it is felt that permission to compound the offence will have to be refused.
