(2) Every offence under this Act shall be 3[non-bailable] and non-compoundable.] ... —Where any person is prosecuted for taking or abetting the taking of any dowry under section 3, or the demanding of dowry under section 4, the burden of proving that he had not committed an offence under these sections shall be on him.]
Hello Niraj As per your query let me acquainted you that section 498-A of IPC and sections 3 and 4 of the dowry prohibition Act were non-compoundable and they were within the power of the Magistrate to compoundable i.e. under Sections 498-A of Penal Code, 1860 and 3/4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. Hope it clarifies your issues! Regards Minakshi Bindhani
