Want guidance on 420/34 case to reduce the punishment for fine
It is the case of 420/34, my student found wallet and credit cards on road , then he purchased mobile from that credit card.(420/34) . He was 19 years old at that time. Now he is MBA and doing CA, and apologising and ashamed. Now trial is going on, Can we plead to honorable judge to reduce punishment and take only fine. The petitioner (the owner of credit card) is also ready to give "forgiveness letter". How shall we proceed ? Is it possible ?

1) on basis of settlement arrived at with complainant apply for quashing of FIR in HC
Since this is compoundable offence, an out of court compromise may be arrived between parties and a petition for compounding the offences may be filed before the court, which will be accepted by the court and your friend can be released from this case.
The case is filed by Police. And Victim (owner of credit card ) is ready to give forgiveness letter . Please Guide that how to convince Police and honorable judge for settlement and fine only. We really don't want imprisonment for our student, he is good guy.

If the case is pending before the court the student can pay and settle as 420 is a compoundable offence.

Your best option is file for quashing in HC on basis of settlement arrived at
2) you have been charged with offence under section 420 /34 of IPC
3) it is for trial court to decide your quantum of punishment
This is a compoundable offence.
The defacto complainant can approach APP, who will file a petition before court in this regard after which the court will dispose the case.
