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 is that the de facto complainant developed a relationship with the accused and during the course of the same, the accused took undue advantage by taking the money of the de facto complainant and thereafter, it is alleged that he has physically assaulted the de facto complainant and also cheated the de facto complainant of the above amount and also verbally abused the de facto complainant. Subsequently, the parties have ironed out the differences. https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis CRL OP No. 16601 of 2026 __________ Page3 of 4 4.
