yes, both parties present before the court and give with affidavit with settlement deed then will release from the fir.

Section 278IPC is not compoundable. If you are fined by the court on pleading guilty then you will be a convicted person. However, the court can take a lenient view of the offence if both the parties appear before the court. But even if the other party does not appear this will not make any difference in the matter of penalty.

Hi Satish,

I am also stuck with the same thing. The place in my case is also 200 kms and I have not filed fir against the complainant. So what are the side effects if I plead guilty.

Thanks in anticipation..
