Rajesh @ Rajesh Kannan vs A.K.Murthy & Ors

The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in referring a non-compoundable offence under Section 468 IPC to mediation, as such offences cannot be settled amicably. The Court emphasized that the legal framework does not permit the compounding of offences under this section, thus the High Court's order was set aside. The matter was remitted to the High Court for proper disposal under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973.
