section 451 is compoundable or not

Dear querist,

Sec.451 of ipc talks about the house- trespass in order to the commission of an offence that is punishable with imprisonment. For such an act punishment for two years along with fine is given under the act. On the other hand, if the offence is theft then imprisonment may go upto 7 years along with a fine. 

Both the offences are non-compoundable which means that the parties to the case can’t compromise while the trial is going on in the court. 

Regards,

Palak
