My friend had a minor accident with a lady on two wheeler. She was taken to the hospital by my friend , she suffered fracture of her hand.Police filed 279 and 338 . The case is now in the court. Later my friend paid her hospital bills and signed a consent letter with her stating that she doesn't wish to pursue the case further and the settlement is done. We undersatnd that 338 is compoundable but 279 is non compoundable. Can the judge convict him for 279 ? Is there a judgement of higher courts wherein if 338 is compounded then the court cannot charge him for 279 ? Please advise
