Attempt To Murder Case Can Be Settled After Filing Of Final Report Upon Considering Nature Of Injuries Sustained: Kerala High Court

Live Law  

The Kerala High Court has reiterated that an attempt to murder case under IPC Section 307 can be settled between the accused and complainant after filing Final Report if the prosecution materials do not suggest commission of the said offence and after considering the injuries sustained to the victim. “ In view of the above legal position, settlement of cases involving offence punishable under Section 307 of IPC also can be considered, after filing Final Report and not before filing Final Report, if the prosecution materials do not suggest commission of the said offence and also in consideration of the nature of injuries sustained. That is to say, when the courts, while taking a call as to whether compromise in such cases should be effected or not, the Court should go by the nature of injuries sustained, the part of the body where the injuries were inflicted with specific attention to see whether the injuries caused are on the vital/ delicate parts of the body and the nature of weapons etc.” The Court observed that if there is a strong possibility that the charge under Section 307 can be proved, the matter should not be settled. The Supreme Court however directed that the High Court can examine if Section 307 is added just for the sake, or if the prosecution has sufficient materials to prove the offence.
