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 background facts from which the case arises are that the petitioners/accused and the second respondent/de facto complainant are neighbours. While construction work was underway at the petitioners’ premises, debris and cement allegedly fell into the house of the de facto https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis CRL.OP.No.18588 of 2026 __________ Page3 of 4 complainant. When the de facto complainant confronted them regarding the same, the accused persons allegedly abused and assaulted her. The de facto complainant has now submitted before this Court that she does not wish to pursue the case further, provided there are no future disputes. The petitioners/accused have also given an undertaking that they will not indulge in any dispute with the de facto complainant in the future. Consequently, the parties have amicably resolved their disputes 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.18588 of 2026 stands allowed. The final report in C.C.No.619 of 2025 pending on the file of the Judicial Magistrate Court No.II, Tambaram, is hereby quashed.
