Section 528 BNSS | High Court May Quash Non-Compoundable Offences (Sections 307, 506 IPC) on Compromise If Civil in Nature : Allahabad HC
The Allahabad High Court has affirmed that even non-compoundable offences like attempt to murder and criminal intimidation can be quashed when parties reach a genuine compromise, provided the dispute is predominantly civil or familial in character. This reinforces the Gian Singh doctrine, shielding accused persons from oppressive prosecution where conviction is improbable and justice demands closure.
