many a times I see complainants/victims in non-compoundable criminal cases like rape, 498A etc. settle the matter with the accused. how it does it happen when the offence is non-compoundable? the settlement can be done at which stage? can it be done even after commencement of trial? plz answer my doubt.

there is huge backlog of cases . if in case like 498 A it can be resolved by compromise courtunder section 482 will quash the complaint as objective is to save the marriage .
similarly in cases of cheating , etc where payment is received and parties compromise courts tend to quash the proceedings if complainant does not want to proceed further . if matter is settled proecution witness wont come forward to give evidence and case may fall apart .

ok. about 498A and cheating cases I understand. but many a times I see 306 or 376 etc cases are being compromised by the parties though the offence is non-compoundable as per sec.320 crpc. how?
