Side), For R1 Mr.A.Nagarajan, for R2 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis CRL OP No. 17522 of 2026 __________ Page2 of 4 ORDER This Criminal Original Petition seeks to quash FIR in Crime No.13 of 2023 on the file of the first respondent Police for the alleged offences under Sections 406 and 420 of 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 the accused promised the de facto complainant to get her a job in TNEB for AE post and received a sum of Rs.32,70,000/- through de facto complainant’s brother for her and Rs.30,09,900/- for other neighbours. The accused returned Rs.57,00,000/- to de facto complainant’s brother and promised to give rest of Rs.5,00,000/- on 08.07.2026. They are now said to have ironed out their differences between them. https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis CRL OP No. 17522 of 2026 __________ Page3 of 4 4. The claim is also that the instant case is in the nature of loan transaction. Further, the Court specifically enquired the learned Government Advocate (Crl. Side), whether the accused are involved in any other case, and it is submitted that no other case is pending against the accused. 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.17522 of 2026 stands allowed. The FIR in Crime No.13 of 2023 on the file of the first respondent Police stands quashed. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed. 08-07-2026 Neutral Citation: No PVS To 1.
