Settlement

As per your concerns!
Your facts are not quite clear. So I am unable to provide you with adequate advice.

Not every offence is compoundable or amicably settle outside without the leave of the court, the list provided under section 320 of the Criminal Procedure Code, 1973. offences can be compounded and the person by whom offence may be compounded.

Hope it helps

As per your query it is understood that you need information regarding the settlement of the dispute outside the Court.

Criminal cases which are mostly concerned with private wrong can be settled out of court. These categories of offences are termed as compoundable offences. Therefore, only compoundable offences can be settled out of court.

The list of the criminal cases which can be settled out of court is listed below.

You can settle the issue outside the court through various modes. The most common types of ADRs are: Arbitration, Conciliation, Mediation, Neutral Evaluation.

Criminal cases are more complex than civil cases. In case of compoundable offences, court permission is not required. But when there is compromise between the parties or out of court settlement in non-compoundable offences, prior permission of court is required. Although court holds a discretionary power to cancel the settlement anytime.

Hope it helps!

If dispute be settled out of the court , you both the parties approach the high court and filled the quashing petition on ground of settlement . hope it would be helpful to you...For detailed query you can contact me.

Contact District Legal Services Authority and seek guidance from them, as they are more competent to explain you with more clarity when the case is in Court., without charging any amount.
