Quick Summary

Section 354 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), which deals with molestation, is a non-compoundable and non-bailable offence. This means it cannot be settled between the victim and the accused outside of court. The law was amended in 2009 to make it non-compoundable, and penalties can include up to three years' imprisonment, a fine, or both, depending on the specific nature of the offence.

The offence under sec 354 IPC was initially compoundable. But the same has been made non-compoundable since the 2009 amendment of the code.[5]
