LAW FOR ALL

Sec. 420 - compoundable - Apex court held that Offence under Section 420 of the IPC is compoundable with the permission of the court by the person who is cheated. Since the parties are related to each other and they have decided to accord a quietus to their disputes and live peacefully, we permit them to compound the offence. Hence, the offence under Section 420 of the IPC for which the appellant was convicted is compounded because it is compoundable with the permission of the court. The appellant is acquitted of the said charge.=CRIMINAL APPEAL NO.1165 OF 2014 Deva Ram … Appellant Vs. The State of Rajasthan & Anr. … Respondents = 2014 July.
