Section 31 DV Act | Amicable Settlement Does Not Quash Conviction for Protection Order Violation : MP HC
Madhya Pradesh High Court rules that an amicable settlement between parties in a domestic violence case does not nullify a conviction under Section 31 of the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005. The court upheld the sentence despite the parties' decision to reconcile, reinforcing the non-compoundable nature of protection order violations.
