      An offence under sections 279 and 337 of the IPC is registered against my brother. Are these offences compoundable? Can we compromise this case with the other party?

      The offence under Section 279 IPC (Rash driving or riding on a public way) is non-compoundable.

      The offence under Section 337 IPC (Causing hurt by act endangering life or personal safety of others) is compoundable with the permission of the court before which the prosecution is pending.
