Can Compensation lead to Reduction in Sentence in Crimes : Supreme Court Clarifies the Doubt
"The misplaced understanding of various courts in treating compensation as a substitute of sentence is both a matter of concern and a practice which should be condemned. Compensation payable to the victim is only restitutory in nature, and it cannot be considered as equivalent to or a substitute for punishment."
Parameshwari v. State of Tamil Nadu [2026] GCtR 150 (SC)
