Basic
According to Section 320(8) of the CrPC, the compounding of an offence under Section 320 of the CrPC has the effect of acquitting the accused with whom the offence was compounded.

The result of compounding an offence is essentially the dismissal of the accusations made against the accused. It makes no difference whether the FIR was lodged or whether the trial had begun; as long as the offence was compounded with the court’s authorization, the offender is acquitted of all accusations.
