Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

Section 359(2) permits compounding with court permission for the listed offences of rash or negligent hurt, causing miscarriage and cheating that dishonestly induces delivery of property. Voluntarily causing hurt by dangerous weapons or means is outside both compounding tables, and section 359(9) bars compounding except as provided by the section.

Option feedback

Section 125(a) appears in the table of offences compoundable with the court’s permission.

Section 88 appears in the table of offences compoundable with the court’s permission.

Option D

Section 318(4) appears in the table of offences compoundable with the court’s permission.
