it can be legaly compounded 09422177689 or adv.ksh*teej@rediffmail.com

Yes certainly if the charge against him appears to be groundless and on a perusal of chargesheet it is apparent that he has committed no offence the COS is free to discharge him, if the complainant agrees - you can move HC u/s 482 as advised above.

Question is, it is non compoundable with or without the permission of the Court, that aspectis clear: if there is ground to believe that the accused committed the offence can the party settled the matter by ecuting deed of settlement and present before the Trial Court or the high court under 482 to compund the case that is non compoundable? If there is ground to believe that thae accused committed the offence, I dont think the Magistrate, under 227-229 or the High court in exercise of power under 484 quash the case. As any agreement that is contrary to law is void and consent of the party can not cured that defect.

Discharge happens on legal grounds only.

 

Theoratically it is possible.

If the case is false the Magistrate can discharge the accused at the cost of facing malicious Prosecution of the complainant.

If the accused faced the false allegations and magestrate founds that there is no primae facie and there are no grounds against the accused then the counsedl file the discharge U/S 239, 245 and 227 CrPC respectively where trial runs.The same time the complainant will face the malicous prosection not only on petetioner but also on Staiton house Officer as well.
