2. Precisely, the allegation contained in the F.I.R.

' The police deleted sections 354 and 452, P.P.C. During the course of investigation as it was found that the occurrence had taken place at an open space.
3. At the very outset, learned counsel for the petitioner contends that compromise has been effected between the parties due to intervention of notables of the area and the complainant having been appeased, does not want to prosecute the petitioner and his co-accused .Further; the offences under sections 452 and 354, P.P.C. Have been deleted during investigation and rest of the offences are bailable; Jaffar Ali, complainant does not have any objection if the petitioner is admitted to bail.
4. Learned counsel for the complainant, by tendering a written affidavit of Jafar Ali complainant, submits that the matter has been compounded between the parties and in his affidavit, the complainant has shown his willingness to the acceptance of bail plea of the petitioner on the basis of compromise; that there is no other injured of this case and the complainant not only on his own behalf but also on behalf of his family members had forgiven the accused of this case. The complainant, present in person, also endorses the submissions made by his learned counsel on his behalf.
5. Learned Additional Prosecutor-General has also endorsed and adopted the submissions of the learned counsel for the complainant, and submits that the Investigation Officer had deleted above said two sections as according to him, the occurrence had not taken place inside the house of the complainant; lastly contends that the rest of the offences are compoundable with the consent of the court.
6. Arguments heard. Record perused.
7. The complainant had alleged in the F.I.R. That the occurrence had taken place inside his house where he had been beaten and the chastity of the womenfolk of his house had been molested by the accused-petitioner and his co-accused but during the course of investigation, it transpired that the occurrence had taken place in the Baithak of Muhammad Boota, who is a relative of the petitioner so sections 354 and 452, P.P.C. Were deleted. A couple of co-accused of the petitioner had been found innocent during investigation. Nevertheless, the parties are no more daggers drawn and they have patched up the matter due to the efforts of the elders of the locality.
Regardless of the offences being compoundable or non-compoundable, sanity has prevailed and both the parties have come close to each other which is a redeeming move on their part. If they have decided to live in peace in future, the duty of the court is to encourage them so as to avoid further complications and tension between them.
8. Life is too short but the people sometimes make it still shorter, by indulging into insensible skirmishes leading to long standing enmities and irreparable losses. The compromise in such like situation is a welcome sign which can do the miracles and bring around bliss, peace and coherence in the society. ,Such a healthy change of heart is worth admiration which must be allowed to flourish and bear fruit.
9. Therefore, I accept this application and admit the petitioner to post arrest bail subject to furnishing bail bonds in the sum of Rs,50,000 with one surety in the like amount to the satisfaction of the learned trial Court.
