Which one of the following offences under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 may be compounded by the person mentioned in the third column of the Table under section 359(1) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
The first entry in the Table under section 359(1) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (formerly s.320(1) CrPC) is "Enticing or taking away or detaining with criminal intent a married woman (section 84)", which may be compounded by the husband of the woman and the woman. Kidnapping, murder and rape do not appear in the Table under section 359(1) or the Table under section 359(2), and section 359(9) provides that no offence shall be compounded except as provided by that section, so they are not compoundable.
