Section 326 could not be compounded, the compromise could
be taken into account for reducing the sentence. He further
submitted that since the weapon used in the present case was
not of the nature specified under Sections 324 and 326, the
charge could be altered to Sections 323 and 325. Offence
under Sections 323 is compoundable and 325 is compoundable
with the permission of the court. Shri Jethmalani has drawn
