354D IPC

  1. Is a non-compoundable offence. So you cannot make compromises in the lower court.
  2. However the high court may in its discretion (under Section 482 of CRPC) can compound the offence, as in many cases, the supreme has held that in individual disputes the non-compoundable offence can be compounded by high court or supreme court.
  3. If the High Court refuses to compound the case, then you can get the case resulted in acquittal of the accused person by way of favorable evidence of de facto complainant in the trial.

 

 

506 IPC

This offence is covered u/s 320(1) CRPC, which means this offence is compoundable without the permission of the court.

There must be a joint petition by the defacto complainant and the accused and plead in the same court where the proceeding is taking place.

The Complainant- Girl can file a appilcation before court that the matter has been compromise and alleagation are made all are due to misunderstanding. This application may give great effect and leads to aquittal in criminal case by the Judicial Magistrate for lack of evidence or if the evidence has not been started then go to high court to quash the case but it will pinch you more in monetary value.

Section 354(d) IPC defines stalking.

Provided : 1. That such conduct shall not amount to stalking if the man who pursued it proves that it was pursued for the purpose of preventing or detecting crime and the man accused of stalking had been entrusted with the responsibility of prevention and detection of crime by the State 2. It was pursued under any law or to comply with any condition or requirement imposed by any person under any law 3. In the particular circumstances such conduct was reasonable and justified. Whoever commits the offence of stalking shall be punished on first conviction with imprisonment of either descripttion for a term which may extend to three years and shall also be liable for fine and be punished on a second or subsequent conviction, with imprisonment of either descripttion for a term which may extend to five years, and shall also be liable to fine. Section 506, IPC stands for the punishment for criminal intimidation.
