A compoundable offence is an offence the victim may settle with the accused by compromise, which can end the case.
What does Compoundable offence mean in plain words?
Some offences, like wrongful restraint, assault or dishonestly issuing a cheque, can be settled by the person named in the Code's table, without the court's permission. For others, such as qatl and many hurts, the court's permission is needed. Compounding has the effect of an acquittal. An offence cannot be compounded except as section 345 and section 311 of the Penal Code allow.
