An offence under section 85 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 is compoundable:
Answer and explanation
Correct answer D
Cruelty by the husband or a relative of the husband under section 85 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (formerly section 498A IPC) is not included in either table of section 359 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, so it is not compoundable. Neither court permission alone nor the woman’s consent therefore makes it compoundable. Quashing of proceedings by the High Court after an appropriate settlement under section 528 BNSS is a different jurisdiction, not statutory compounding.
