Probability of imprisonment in compoundable offences

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 17 May 2022 This query is : Resolved
In IPC 338 is a compoundable offence with the permission of court (what I read from internet).
Also the punishment is 2 years or fine or both.

I am on station bail now and i was said that i would need to go to court till i get conviction or acquittal.

What if the complainant and injured are not ready to settle the case out side the court as we have third party insurance covered for the vehicle.

1. If the court convicts me and awards any imprisonment, what should i do?
2. If the appellate court and high court also confirms the lower court judgement, do I need to suffer 3. the punishment awarded by the court or law ?

what can I do here ?

Based on the facts and circumstances of the case, the punishment could be fine or imprisonment or both, as the statute prescribes.

It is not possible for anyone to predict what the court will decide, after verifying the records and analysing the facts of this case in hand.

Yes, it can be compounded with the complainant with permission of the Court.
