Solution(By Examveda Team)

Under the Code of Criminal Procedure, certain offences can be compounded, which means that the victim and the offender can mutually agree to settle the matter and withdraw the case. Compounding of offences generally requires the permission of the court, except for specific offences that can be compounded without the permission of the court.

Voluntarily causing hurt under Section 323 of the Indian Penal Code 1860 is one such offence that can be compounded without the permission of the court. Compounding of this offence does not require court approval, and the parties involved can reach an agreement to settle the matter privately.

Causing miscarriage under section 312 and Voluntarily causing grievous hurt under section 325 of the Indian Penal Code 1860 are offences that generally require the permission of the court for compounding.

Criminal breach of trust under section 406 of the Indian Penal Code 1860 is not typically an offence that can be compounded without the permission of the court.

Given the options provided, the correct answer is Option A: Voluntarily causing hurt under Section 323 of the Indian Penal Code 1860.
