Whether court can direct the victim to repay the State any benefit reaped by her if she compromises prosecution under SC & ST Atrocities Act?

ALLAHABAD HIGH COURT

Case :- APPLICATION U/S 482 No. – 8350 of 2021

Applicant :- Satish And 2 Others
Opposite Party :- State of U.P. and Another

Hon’ble Vivek Agarwal,J.
Order Date :- 3.9.2021

1. Heard Sri Rakesh Chandra Tiwari, learned counsel for the applicants and Sri Sushil Jaiswal, learned counsel for the private respondents.

2. Learned counsel for the parties submit that they have entered into a compromise in relation to Case Crime No.293C of 2014 in Criminal Case No.77 of 2017 (State Vs. Satish and others), under Sections 323, 504, 506, 354(Ka), 354(Kha) IPC and 3(1) (XI) of SC/ST Act.

3. Sri Nagendra Srivastava, learned AGA for the State submits that this is a matter pertaining to SC/ST Act. He submits that there is a growing tendency on the part of the complainant to make accusations/collect compensation from the State Government and then enter into compromise.

4. This Court is of the opinion that when matters are sought to be compromised, then they are necessarily in the realm of personal disputes and not crime against society. If society has not committed any atrocity on a member belonging to Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe and such member decides to compromise a matter, then said victim is required to repay the State any benefit reaped by the victim, as per the benevolent scheme of the State to pay compensation to members of such community.

5. Therefore, on condition of complainant either filing an undertaking that complainant has not taken any monitory benefit from the State or in case, any monitory benefit has been reaped from the State, then on a condition to deposit the same before the trial court to be transmitted to the concerned authorities of the State, concerned Court shall verify the factum of compromise and furnish its report before the court.

6. List this case on 24.09.2021.
