RAJESH @ RAJESH KANNAN vs A.K.MURTHY .

The Supreme Court held that the offence under Section 468 IPC is non-compoundable, and thus the High Court erred in referring the matter to the Tamil Nadu Mediation and Conciliation Centre. The Court emphasized that mediation is not applicable in cases involving non-compoundable offences. Consequently, the appeals were allowed, the impugned order was set aside, and the matter was remitted to the High Court for proper disposal under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973.
