Section 528 BNSS | POCSO Act Proceedings Quashed on Genuine Family Compromise Where Accused is Stepfather : Madras HC
Madras HC quashed POCSO proceedings where the victim and her mother confirmed a genuine compromise with the accused stepfather, holding that continuation of trial would serve no purpose when child welfare is secured. The ruling establishes that quashing is permissible in exceptional cases of family reconciliation under Section 528 BNSS, even for non-compoundable offences.
