The High Court allowed Akash Adhikari's compounding application and quashed Criminal Case No. 148 of 2025 involving charges under IPC Sections 498-A, 323, 504, 506 and Dowry Prohibition Act Sections 3/4. The court permitted compounding of the ostensibly non-compoundable offences based on the parties' amicable settlement and decision to live together, following Supreme Court precedent that allows such compounding when conviction is unlikely and continuation would cause prejudice to the accused. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
