Under BNSS section 359(6), may the High Court or Court of Session exercising revisional powers allow a person to compound an offence that the person is competent to compound under section 359?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

Section 359(6) expressly permits compounding in revision, so the answer is "Yes, subject to section 359's conditions and prohibitions" It does not remove the restrictions on who may compound, the offences that may be compounded or the previous-conviction prohibition in subsection (7), so "Yes, including every offence that section 359 makes non-compoundable" is wrong.
