The University does not publish an official answer key for this paper. The answers in this volume are model answers, written to show how a full-mark answer is built. They are a study aid, not an authority on what an examiner marked.
The question paper reproduced here is the paper as set by the University of Mumbai at the May 2023 - CrPC 100 examination.
This paper was set on the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, and its answers are written on the Code the questions name. The Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 repealed the Code on 1 July 2024, though cases begun before that date still run under it, and the Sanhita papers sit in the same folder; a reader preparing for them should check every section number and every time limit against the Sanhita. Two further things are corrected silently throughout. Where the printed header names the Juvenile Justice Act, 2000, which was repealed on 15 January 2016, the answers are on the Act of 2015 as amended in 2021. And the Probation of Offenders Act, 1958, whose own Section 2(a) still defines the Code as that of 1898, is read today with the Code of 1973.
The questions below are the paper as the University of Mumbai set it at the May 2023 - CrPC 100 examination, in the order it was set.

How to use this volume
Solve the paper first, under exam conditions and against the clock. Then read the answers here and mark your own. Reading a solution before attempting the question feels productive and teaches very little, because recognising an answer is not the same as being able to write one.
Answer the following in not more than two sentence 20 Marks
Answer
A compoundable offence is one which the Code permits the parties to settle, so that the composition operates as an acquittal of the accused. Section 320 of the Code is the source: sub-section (1) contains a table of offences that may be compounded by the persons named without the permission of the court, and sub-section (2) a table of offences that may be compounded only with the permission of the court before which the prosecution is pending.
Examples. Under section 320(1), causing hurt under section 323 of the Indian Penal Code may be compounded by the person to whom the hurt is caused, criminal trespass under section 447 by the person in possession, and theft under section 379 by the owner of the property stolen, in each case without any permission of the court. Under section 320(2), voluntarily causing grievous hurt under section 325 may be compounded by the person to whom the hurt is caused, but only with the permission of the court before which the prosecution is pending.
