(3.) THE facts are not in dispute. The Special Lok Adalat at Narnaul had before it 12 applications moved in criminal cases, in which the accused were alleged to have committed the offences that were not compoundable, for bringing on record the fact that the parties in each one of these cases had sorted out their differences. Apart from Section 320 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (in short "the Code"), Sub -clause (1) of Section 320 of the Code, which specifies the cases that according to the Code, are compoundable and sub - Clause (2) thereof lists the offences, which are compoundable with the permission of the Court, Section 320(9) of the Code makes all other cases being tried by a criminal Court non -compoundable.
