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 is that when the de facto complainant went to the roadside Tiffin shop and demanded tiffin, there ensued a wordy quarrel, on account of which, the incident has happened. It is submitted that the parties have ironed out the 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. 5. Accordingly, this Crl.O.P. No. 17786 of 2026 stands allowed. The proceedings in S.C.No.451 of 2025 on the file of the learned III-Additional District Judge, Coimbatore stands quashed. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed. 15-07-2026 Neutral Citation: No KKN https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis
