DHANANJAY @ DHANANJAY KUMAR SINGH vs STATE OF BIHAR

The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in not accepting a compromise between the parties in a case involving Section 384 IPC (extortion). The Court clarified that for an offence under Section 384, the essential ingredients include intentional fear of injury and dishonest inducement to deliver property, which were not established in this case. Consequently, the Court quashed the proceedings against the appellant, emphasizing that the FIR did not disclose an offence under Section 384 IPC.
