Sectiob 324 I.P.C.

Dawood J. Khatri (Querist) 05 December 2010 This query is : Resolved
Under the recently amended S.320 of the Cr.P.C., section 324 IPC has been made non-compoundable. My question is: If the FIR is recorded prior to the amendment of S.320 Cr.P.C. and even the charge sheet is filed in the Court prior to such amendment, shouldn't the Court allow the composition application filed by the injured and the accused? I find that in Mumbai, the Magistrates do not allow such application on the ground that S.324 IPC is now made non-compoundable. In short, does the amendment to S.320 CrPC, have retrospective effect? If there is any judgment on this point, please give the citation.
