Compromise u/s 354

Guest (Querist) 20 May 2024 This query is : Resolved
Hello Respected Lawyers and people. I want help in this false criminal case.

My uncle was falsely accused of and booked u/s 354 i.e. crime against women. As the FIR was registered in 2001 when it was a compoundable offence and now it is a non compoundable offence after amendment in 2009.

Can both the parties reach to a compromise between themselves?

Will the court accept the compromise and close the case as the FIR was filed when it was a compoundable offence?

Plese help In this matter. Thank you.

To my knowledge and understanding, the amendment is only of prospective effect and hence, the matter could be got compounded.
