Correct option is C
The correct answer is (c). Section 320 of the Cr.P.C. lists the offenses that can be compounded, meaning the parties involved can settle the matter without the need for a trial, subject to the Court's permission.
Information Booster:
Compounding offenses is a mechanism to reduce the burden on the judiciary and allow parties to amicably settle disputes, especially in minor cases where the law permits such settlements.
Additional Knowledge:
·
(a): Schedule I of Cr.P.C. deals with the classification of offenses.
·
(b): Schedule II pertains to the procedures to be followed for offenses.
·
(d): There is no Schedule 321 in Cr.P.C., making this option incorrect.
