Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 26 June 2011 This query is : Resolved
Two persons are charged with section 147/448/323/506 of I.P.C. can it be compounded with the informant and the victims since they are ready for compromise with the accused persons. (since section 147 is non compoundable)

(actually there is a another case against the victims of the above in which sections are compoundable it is actually case and counter case and in both the cases parties are ready to compromise.)
Pls do answer and also provide relevant case law.

Non compoundable, but in view of the compromise between the complainant and accused, complainant and wittnesses must turn hostile.
