Dasan vs State Of Kerala

The Supreme Court addressed the appeal against the conviction under Section 326 IPC for causing grievous hurt with a dangerous weapon. The Court noted that the offence is non-compoundable under Section 320 of the Criminal Procedure Code, but acknowledged the amicable settlement between the appellant and the victim, Uddesh. The Court held that while the conviction under Section 326 IPC cannot be compounded, it suggested that the conviction could be reconsidered under Section 325 IPC, which is compoundable, thus allowing for a potential reduction in the severity of the conviction.
