A Compoundable Offence is an offence which the law permits to be settled between the accused and the person specified by law as competent to compound it. Depending upon the offence, compounding may be permitted: ✅ Without the permission of the Court, or ✅ With the permission of the Court Once an offence is validly compounded, it generally results in the acquittal of the accused in relation to that offence. 🚫 WHAT IS A NON-COMPOUNDABLE OFFENCE? A Non-Compoundable Offence is one which cannot ordinarily be compounded merely on the basis of a private settlement between the parties under the statutory compounding provisions. This is generally because the offence is considered to have a wider impact on society and public interest, rather than being merely a private dispute. ⚠️ Important Concept for Law Students Compounding and Quashing are not the same thing. Even where an offence is legally non-compoundable, a High Court may, in an appropriate case and subject to established legal principles, consider quashing criminal proceedings on the basis of settlement while exercising its inherent jurisdiction. So remember: Compoundable ≠ Automatically Quashable Non-Compoundable ≠ Always Impossible to End Through Settlement The nature of the offence, seriousness of allegations, public interest and judicial principles remain important. 📌 Quick Revision COMPOUNDABLE OFFENCE ➡️ Settlement is permitted by law ➡️ Can be compounded by the legally authorised person ➡️ Some require Court permission ➡️ Some do not require Court permission ➡️ Valid compounding generally leads to acquittal NON-COMPOUNDABLE OFFENCE ➡️ Cannot ordinarily be compounded under the statutory provision ➡️ Mere private compromise is not sufficient ➡️ Generally involves greater public or societal interest ➡️ Quashing by a High Court is a separate legal concept 🎯 This Video is Useful For: ✅ Judiciary / Judicial Services Examinations ✅ State Judiciary Exams ✅ APO / APP Examinations ✅ CLAT PG ✅ AIBE ✅ UGC NET Law ✅ LL.B. & LL.M.
