MATHURA SINGH vs STATE OF U.P.

The Supreme Court upheld the Allahabad High Court's decision to alter the appellants' conviction from Sections 307 and 324 IPC to Sections 324 and 323 IPC, allowing for compounding of the offences under Section 320 of the CrPC. The Court noted that the offence under Section 324 IPC remains compoundable despite the 2005 amendment not being in force. The Court set aside the conviction and sentence based on the parties' mutual agreement to compound the offences, thereby disposing of the appeal.
