Under section 345 of the Cr.P.C, offenses punishable U/S 302 of the P.P.C are classified as_____________?
Show answer Hide answer
Answer: A. Compoundable
Explanation
Under section 345 of the Cr.P.C., certain offenses including specific categories under section 302 are compoundable. Legal compounding allows victims or legal heirs to reach a lawful compromise with offenders under statutory supervision. Amendments to criminal procedure laws carefully define which serious homicide offenses permit judicial compounding. Compoundable offenses are crimes where the complainant is permitted by law to settle the dispute with the accused. Islamic penal laws integrated into criminal statutes introduce specific provisions for compounding murder charges through pardons. Courts must formally approve any compromise reached between parties before dismissing or altering criminal charges.
Option B is incorrect because certain homicide provisions under the amended law are indeed classified as compoundable. Option C is wrong since a definite statutory answer classifying the offense is provided in the choices. Option D fails because the correct legal classification is explicitly detailed in Section 345 of the code.
