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 accused morphed the images of the de facto complainant and uploaded objectionable images in the social media as if she belongs to some group, on account of which, the de facto complaint received harassment calls. During the investigation, it was found that it was the accused who did it by creating a fake ID. The de facto complainant has forgiven the accused and submits that she does not want to prosecute him further. https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis CRL OP No. 18567 of 2026 __________ Page3 of 4 4.
