1. Compounding a non-compoundable case is a contradiction in terms. A party cannot do that.

2. In under S. 498A, IPC, some Staes like AP have made them compoundable through amedments to CrPC.

3. Initially, Supreme Court allowed the husband and wife to compound the case of S. 498A, BUT LATER IT PREFERRED THE BETTER ALTERNATIVE OF QUASHING THE PROCEEDINGS UNDER S. 482 CrPC where the couple wanted to patch up or go for divorce by mutual consent.

It can only be quashed/ finished by witness/ complainant turning hostile.
