For Petitioner(s): Mr.N.Vijayaraj For Respondent(s): Mr.R.Rajasekaran, Government Advocate (Crl. Side), For R1 M/s.D.Angel Preethi, for R2 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis CRL OP No. 17495 of 2026 __________ Page2 of 4 ORDER This Criminal Original Petition seeks to quash the FIR in Cr.No.251 of 2022 dated 18.07.2022 on the file of the first respondent Police for the alleged offences under Sections 294(b), 354, 506(i) IPC, on the ground of compromise between the parties. The de facto complainant is in Sweden and as such, she was permitted to appear virtually. The petitioner/accused had recently undergone surgery and unable to move around, and therefore, he was also permitted to appear virtually. Upon examination, they stood by the compromise and do not want the case to be proceeded 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 are members of the Bar and they are also related to each other. On account of conflict in the family, the accused is said to have verbally abused the de facto complainant and also harassed her for being a woman. The accused had chased and stopped her Car and behaved violently with her in the Saidapet Court premises. They are now said to have ironed out their differences between them. https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis CRL OP No. 17495 of 2026 __________ Page3 of 4 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. 5. Accordingly, this Crl.O.P. No.17495 of 2026 stands allowed. FIR in Cr.No.251 of 2022 dated 18.07.2022 on the file of the first respondent Police stands quashed. 08-07-2026 Neutral Citation: No PVS To 1.
