Which of the following provisions of BNSS provides the legal framework for compounding of offences?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
Section 359 governs compounding of offences under the BNSS. It identifies the offences that may be compounded and the persons authorised to compound them, with court permission required where the provision specifies it. Compounding is a statutory settlement mechanism, so parties cannot treat every criminal offence as compoundable merely by agreement.
