This criminal original petition has been filed to quash the CC No.724 of 2024 pending on the file of the Judicial Magistrate , Pochampalli. 2. According to the petitioner, first respondent, who is the co-brother of the petitioner/accused, had sent a complaint to the second respondent police as well as to the Superintendent of Police, Krishnagiri. It was alleged that due to property dispute, the petitioner alleged to have abused the defacto complainant, assaulted him, and threatened him with dire consequences. Since no action has been taken, the first respondent filed a private complaint before the Judicial Magistrate , Pochampalli, which was taken on file in CC No.724 of 2024. Hence the present petition has been filed to quash the same. 2/5 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis

3. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Advocate (crl.side) appearing for the 2nd respondent . 4. On perusal of the materials placed before this Court, it is seen that the2nd respondent/defacto complainant had lodged a private complaint for the offences under Sections 294(b), 323, 324, and 506(ii), IPC. The Trial Court, upon consideration, had taken cognizance of the offences under Sections 294(b), 323, 324 &506(ii) of IPC. 5. In such view of the matter, merely on the basis of the submissions made on behalf of the petitioner, the complaint cannot be quashed. when there are prima facie materials against the petitioner, this Court cannot make a roving enquiry as to the factual aspects submitted by the petitioner. If no offence is made out from the evidence, it is well open to the Court below to discharge the accused. Hence, I do not find any merits to quash the C.C. at this stage.
