Compoundable offences are those that can be settled between the accused and the victim without a trial or court intervention.
For some compoundable offences, permission from the court is required to compound the case, while for others, no such permission is needed. These generally include less serious offences like hurt, assault, defamation and others.
More serious offences like rape, murder, or dacoity, are non-compoundable.
The Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, through Section 320, provides a detailed list of compoundable offences.
This section categorises them into those that can be compounded with or without the court's permission. The ides is to provide a way to resolve minor legal disputes without burdening the court system.
A non-cognizable offence under the IPC refers to a category of crimes that are considered less serious and for which a police officer cannot arrest an accused without a warrant. Non-cognizable offences include like defamation, simple hurt, or causing simple nuisance.
For any investigation or legal action in non-cognizable offences, police need the court's authorisation.
