Section 482 CrPC | Conviction Under Section 307 IPC Quashable Post-Compromise if Genuine and Voluntary: Bombay HC
Bombay High Court sets precedent allowing quashing of conviction under Section 307 IPC after trial if parties reach a verified, voluntary compromise-even in non-compoundable offences-provided the settlement serves public interest and victim’s rights are safeguarded. The ruling reinforces Section 482 CrPC’s inherent powers to prevent abuse of process where reconciliation aligns with justice.
