Case Law Analysis
Section 528 B.N.S. permits quashing of charge-sheet despite non-compoundable offence on voluntary settlement | Uttarakhand HC
The Uttarakhand High Court set aside the charge-sheet and all criminal proceedings under Section 528 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita because the parties reached a voluntary settlement, even though the offence under Section 109 is non-compoundable. This establishes that a genuine settlement can override non-compoundability, guiding future compounding applications.
