CRL.OP.No.18400 of 2026 __________ Page1 of 4 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT MADRAS DATED: 14-07-2026 CORAM: THE HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE D.BHARATHA CHAKRAVARTHY CRL.OP.No.18400 of 2026 and CRL.MP.No.12243 of 2026 Pavankumar ..Petitioner Vs. 1.

Shafiyullah ..Respondents PRAYER: Criminal Original Petition filed under Section 528 of BNSS, praying to call for the records in Crime No.150/2026 on the file of the Inspector of Police, T15-SRMC Police Station and quash the same. For Petitioner: Mr.V.Lakshminarayanan For Respondents: Mr.M.Mohamed Riyaz, (for R1) Government Advocate (Crl. Side) Mr.G.Suresh (for R2) https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis CRL.OP.No.18400 of 2026 __________ Page2 of 4 ORDER This criminal original petition seeks to quash the FIR in Crime No.150 of 2026 on the file of the Inspector of Police, T15-SRMC Police Station, Avadi, for the alleged offences under Sections 316(2) and 318(4) of the BNS, 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 reported in (2012 10 SCC 303) and other subsequent judgments. 3. The gist of facts leading to the instant case is that the petitioner/accused, who was running a consultancy under the name and style of ‘Fair Mount Consultancy’ allegedly obtained a total sum of https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis CRL.OP.No.18400 of 2026 __________ Page3 of 4 Rs.12,00,000/- from the second respondent/de facto complainant under the pretext of sending him to Norway. However, the petitioner failed to fulfil this promise and subsequently, threatened the de facto complainant. Further, it is now brought to the notice of this Court that the de facto complainant has since received the entire amount back and both parties have amicably resolved and ironed out their differences. 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.18400 of 2026 stands allowed. The FIR in Crime No.150 of 2026 on the file of the Inspector of Police, T15- SRMC Police Station, Avadi, is quashed. Connected miscellaneous petition is closed. 14-07-2026 Neutral Citation: No Sni https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis CRL.OP.No.18400 of 2026 __________ Page4 of 4 D.BHARATHA CHAKRAVARTHY, J.
