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 the facts leading to the filing of the instant case is that the petitioners/accused allegedly trespassed into the house of the second respondent/de facto complainant and took away certain jewelry and documents. https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis CRL.O.P.No.17501 of 2026 __________ Page3 of 4 4.
