State Act

THE UTTAR PRADESH PLASTIC AND OTHER NON-BIODEGRADABLE GARABGE (REGULATION OF USE AND DISPOSAL)

This Act was repealed on a date we do not have by the Uttarakhand Plastic and Other Non Biodegradable Garbage (Regulation of Use and Throwing) Act, 2013 (Uttarakhand Act 17 of 2013), s.22(1); it may still apply to matters that began before then.

12- An offence punishable under this Act may be compounded either before or after the institution of the prosecution by such officer of the local authority as may be notified by the State Government from time to time, on realization of such amount of composition fee as he thinks fit not exceeding the maximum amount of fine fixed for the offence and where the offence is so compounded. (a) before the institution of the prosecution, the offender shall not be liable to prosecution, for such offence and shall, if in custody, be set at liberty; (b) after the institution of the prosecution, the composition shall amount to acquittal of the offender.
