Only in state of Andhra Pradesh it is compoundable.

All other places it is still non-compoundable.

The latest amendment of CrPC has had no impact on the nature of 498-a.

i agree with experts.

Devajyoti Barman (Expert) 19 September 2011
Yes non compoundable though curiously enough if the parties reaches a settlement the high court quashes the proceedings on the basis of such settlement.

Compoundability of an offence u/s 498A depends upon the discretion of the trial court. Vide latest cases Nita S. Tagade vs Smt Vimal S. Tagade 1997 Cr. LJ 3263, Saraswati Sutradhar and 3 others vs State 1999 Cr LJ 117 Gau
