Ramesh vs State Of M.P. & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed a case involving a conviction under Section 307 IPC, noting that such an offense is not compoundable as per Section 320 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973. Despite the non-compoundability, the Court held that in light of the compromise deed and the specific circumstances of the case, the ends of justice would be served by maintaining the conviction while treating the sentence already undergone as adequate. Consequently, the Criminal Appeals were disposed of accordingly.
