Compounding of contraventions permits conditional resolution during adjudication but excludes repeat or similar contraventions within the prescribed period.
Section 63 authorises the Controller, a specially authorised officer, or the adjudicating officer to compound a contravention before or after adjudication begins. Compounding is subject to conditions fixed by the competent officer, and the sum imposed cannot exceed the maximum penalty otherwise imposable. Repeat or similar contraventions within three years are ineligible for compounding, while compounding prevents further proceedings concerning the resolved contravention.
