Note: a criminal case can be settled this way only where the offence is compoundable under law (section 359 of the BNSS, 2023 / formerly section 320 CrPC); for non-compoundable offences, the matter usually requires the High Court's intervention to be quashed.

Note: for such a reference to be effective, a copy of the agreement must be forwarded to the appropriate Government and the conciliation officer and notified in the Official Gazette, as required by section 10A.
