Markuk Karnakar Goud v. Karrolla Kanakaiah And Another
Case brief
What is this about?
The High Court exercised powers under Section 482 Cr.P.C. to quash FIR Cr.No.239 of 2018. Despite the offence under Section 3(1)(s) of the SC/ST Act being non-compoundable, the Court found it a fit case to quash proceedings due to a genuine settlement mediated by elders, holding the offence was not against society.
What did the court decide?
Leave granted to compound offences; proceedings in Cr.No.239 of 2018 quashed against the petitioner.
