when the 161 and 164 statement taken infront of police officer and magistrate can a person acquainted with facts and circumstances who has given statement become HOSTILE WITNESS? can he change his statement during trial? because 164(2) crpc clearly says that the statement can be used as evidence against him/her.... if yes , then can we say that even though section 320 crpc doesnt says that heinous crimes are compoundable we can say that to some extent heinous crimes also compoundable which falls outside the ambit of section 320 crpc.
