He submits that the dispute between them is matrimonial in nature, charge sheet was filed under Section 498-A IPC against the present petitioners, parties have settled their dispute amicably, compromise has already been submitted before the Trial Court which has been verified by the learned trial Court but offence under Section 498-A IPC is not compoundable, therefore learned Trial Court refused to attest the compromise for this offence.

State of Punjab reported in (2012) 10 SCC 303 .
(3.) Mr. Jitendra Singh learned counsel appearing on behalf of respondent No. 2/complainant also supported the aforesaid submissions.;
