Compounding of offence

Please help!

Few years back, "A" lodged an FIR against "B" alleging that "B" had caused hurt to "A". Subsequently a case under section 324 IPC was registered against "B". The case has been charge sheeted and is now pending for consideration of charge. But with the intervention of friends and well wishers "B" wants to compound the offence.

Now i want to know :-

1. Can "B" compound the offence without the permission of the court since the case is pending for consideration of charge ?

2. what would be the format of application for compounding the said offence?

Thanking you.

1. get the compromise deed prepared having witnesses with the affidevites of A And B and copy of photo i card of A.

2. move a petetion in HC for quashing FIR and subsiquent proceedings on the basis of compromise.

B vs state and A.

Samm, I

presume that u r knowing that Sec 324 of IPC is not a compoundable offence.

Wait until charge sheet is filed and get matter refered to Lok adalat and get settled the case because recent judments of Supreme court are canvasing disposal of criminal case are permitted in lok adalat if the nature of offence are not henious.

Moving to high court will also consume same time.
