- Section 320 of Cr.P.C. deals with compounding of offences, meaning the victim and accused settle the matter.

- On compounding, if the charge has already been framed, it results in acquittal of the accused.

- If compounding happens before the charge is framed, it leads to discharge of the accused.

- So, compounding does not always mean acquittal, but depends on the stage of the case.
