#reconciliation

Bombay High Court quashes FIR under Sections 324 and 506 IPC after sisters reconcile, holding that compounding of offences under Section 528 BNSS applies even post-investigation. The ruling reinforces that criminal proceedings can be terminated where parties settle disputes amicably, aligning with Supreme Court precedents on victim autonomy in non-heinous offences.

Andhra Pradesh High Court reinforces that matrimonial reconciliation under the Family Courts Act requires in-person attendance, citing statutory confidentiality and the sanctity of personal interaction. Video conferencing may only be permitted post-failure of settlement, ensuring procedural integrity in sensitive family disputes.
