Can an accused avoid imprisonment in sec 420 only pay fine
02-Jul-2023 (In Criminal Law)
Is it possible to set free of IPC section 420 criminal charges with just fine amount? Or imprisonment is compulsory? Can't someone be free without imprisonment?
IPC Sec-420 is a non bailable offence triable by JMFC.On conviction 7yrs imprisonment
It is always advisable to do out of court settlement with the complainant.No payment of only fine can be the punishment.

No, if 420 is proved then imprisonment is must but depend on the case to case and discretion of the court regarding quantum of punishment , all depends upon the level and type of crime committed by the accused

It is not possible to set free by paying fine amount. Though section 420 is compoundable in nature you cannot be fined. As Usually the concerned court conducts trial and at the time of trial you can pray.
