498a and DP 4 Lok Adalat in Telangana
2 years ago
Hello Experts,
Can someone please confirm if after a Lok Adalat settlement happens in a 498a and DP 4 cases (compoundable in state of Telangana), can I approach the Honb'l HC to get it quashed eventually on basis of Lok Adalat settlement decree?
Thank you in advance for your consideration and reply
Regards
Seenu
A.Hello Sir
Section 498-A IPC is non-compoundable. Non-compoundable offences are those where the court cannot record the compromise between the parties and drop charges against the accused.
Thus, your lok Adalat settlement is not valid and lok Adalat doesn't have any jurisdiction over a case of 498-A IPC. The High court would not quash the case of 498A on the basis of settlement decree of lok Adalat.
Thanks

A.In my opinion 498A settlement is not possible as it is a criminal case and Lok Adalat does not have jurisdiction to handle the criminal matters. What you can do is you can approach the High Court with the help of a lawyer and file for quashing of case.
