<h1>Section 359: Compounding Offences in Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita 2023 Explained; Includes Theft, Defamation, and More</h1> Section 359 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, outlines the compounding of certain offences under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023. It specifies which offences can be compounded and by whom, detailing both direct and court-permitted compounding. Offences range from enticing a married woman to theft and defamation. It allows compounding by affected parties or their legal representatives under certain conditions, such as court permission when the party is a minor or deceased. The section also states that compounding results in acquittal and cannot occur if the accused faces enhanced punishment due to prior convictions.
