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 Jun 2024 - CrPC 60/40 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 The Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 repealed the Code on 1 July 2024, though cases begun before that date still run under it, and the Sanhita papers sit in the same folder; a reader preparing for them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 Where the printed header names the Juvenile Justice Act, 2000, which was repealed on 15 January 2016, the answers are on the Act of 2015 as amended in 2021.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.

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.
(a)All questions are compulsory[2]
Answer
A compoundable offence is one the Code allows the parties to settle, and the composition then operates as an acquittal of the accused. The source is section 320, CrPC (now section 359, BNSS, 2023).
The two tables. Section 320(1) lists offences the named person may compound without the court's permission. Section 320(2) lists offences that may be compounded only with the permission of the court before which the prosecution is pending. Section 320(9) is the closing rule: no offence shall be compounded except as provided by this section. So the list is exhaustive, and an offence outside it cannot be settled at all.
Examples. Under section 320(1) three common offences may be compounded with no permission at all. Causing hurt may be compounded by the person hurt. Criminal trespass may be compounded by the person in possession. Theft may be compounded by the owner of the property stolen. Under section 320(2), voluntarily causing grievous hurt may be compounded by the person hurt, but only with the court's permission.
The case. In Damodar S. Prabhu v. Sayed Babalal H., (2010) 5 SCC 663, cheque dishonour cases were being settled very late, after the courts had spent years on them. The Supreme Court framed graded costs for delayed compounding under section 147 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, rising the later the settlement came. The case shows that compounding is encouraged but is not a right to waste the court's time.
