Section 495 IPC | Quashing Permissible Upon Genuine Compromise Despite Non-Compoundable Nature : Uttarakhand HC
The Uttarakhand High Court ruled that criminal proceedings under Section 495 IPC, though non-compoundable, can be quashed if parties reach a genuine compromise and continuation would cause injustice. This extends the principle that quashing is permissible where conviction is improbable, reinforcing judicial discretion under Section 482 CrPC for non-compoundable offences.
