4.        Beside complainant, all the legal heirs of the deceased being adult have pardoned the appellant by waiving their right of Qisas and Diyat against him, which is evident of their statements recorded by learned trial Court, on inquiry.

6.        It is contended by learned counsel for the appellant thatthe parties have compounded the offence on intervention of their Nekmards, without fear or favour and it is true and voluntarily. By contending so, he sought for acquittal of the appellant by way of compromise.

7.        Learned D.P.G for the State who is assisted by the complainant has recorded no objection tothe acquittal of the appellant by way of compromise.

8.        I have considered the abovearguments and perused the record.

9.        The compromise which is arrived at between the parties is appearing to be trueand voluntarily;it apparently has been affected by the parties on at the intervention of their Nekmards; it is appearing to have been affected without any coercion or compulsion;it has not been objected by any one. It is therefore,accepted in the best interest of the peace and brotherhood to be prevailed between the parties.

 10.     Consequently, the appellant is acquitted of the offence for which he has been charged, tried and conviction by learned trial Court, in terms of compromise by resorting to provision of section 345(6) Cr.PC.He shall be released forthwith,ifis not required in any other custody case.
