Side), For R1 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis CRL OP No. 17525 of 2026 __________ Page2 of 4 ORDER This Criminal Original Petition seeks to quash the Crime No.268 of 2023 on the file of the first respondent Police for alleged offences under Sections 448, 387, and 506(ii) IPC, on the ground of compromise between the parties. The parties are present before the court and, on examination, stand by their compromise and do not want the case to proceed further. 2. The broad contours of the High Court's power to exercise extraordinary jurisdiction under Section 482 of the Cr.P.C. and Section 528 of the BNSS in respect of compromise of non-compoundable offences are laid down by the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India in Gian Singh -Vs- State of Punjab and Another (2012 10 SCC 303) and other subsequent judgments. 3. The gist of facts leading to the instant case are that both were students at the time of occurrence and the petitioners/accused are said to have trespassed into Hostel Room of the de facto complainant and asked money and also threatened and attacked him. Both are students and they are now said to have ironed out their differences between them. 4. Thus, it can be seen that this matter is a fit case for the exercise of extraordinary jurisdiction to quash the case on compromise. https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis CRL OP No. 17525 of 2026 __________ Page3 of 4 5.
