Naresh Kumar vs State Of Haryana & Anr

The Supreme Court held that the conviction and sentence under Section 324 IPC could be compounded as the offence occurred prior to the 2006 amendment which rendered it non-compoundable. Citing the precedent in Mohd.Abdul Sufan Laskar v. State of Assam, the Court found that since the offence was compoundable under the law as it stood in 1995, the parties' compromise was valid. Consequently, the Court allowed the appeal, set aside the lower court's orders, and acquitted the accused.
