ORDER The petitioner / accused facing trial in S.C.No.40 of 2025 on the file of the learned District and Sessions Judge, Tirupattur for the offences punishable under Sections 294(b), 307 and 325 of the Indian Penal Code, has filed this quash petition.

¶2The contention of the petitioner is that both the petitioner and the second respondent are working as daily wagers (Mesthri) and due to a quarrel relating to their daily work, the petitioner went to the second respondent's house and picked up quarrel with him and scolded him in filthy language and pushed the second respondent from the upstairs, thereby, the second respondent sustained injuries and hence, the F.I.R was registered. The petitioner further contends that both the petitioner and the second respondent have come to amicable settlement and prayed for quashing this petition.

¶3The learned Counsel for Government of Tamil Nadu (Crl. Side) for the first respondent submitted that based on the complaint given by the second respondent, FIR in Crime No.27 of 2024 has been registered and investigation has been completed and charge sheet has been filed in S.C.No.40 of 2025 before the learned District and Sessions Judge, Tirupattur, for the offences punishable under Sections 294(b), 307 and 325 of the Indian Penal Code. He further submitted that now the case is at the stage of pending trial. In the meantime, both the petitioner and the second respondent arrived at a compromise and settled the issues between them.

¶4Considering the submissions made by the parties and on perusal of entire materials, it is seen that the case is pending trial. At this stage and also by passage of time, the parties have decided to bury their hatchet and decided to compromise the dispute amicably among themselves.

¶5Today, the petitioners and the second respondent are present before this Court and their identity is confirmed by the first respondent Police. This Court also enquired both the parties and was satisfied that the parties have come to an amicable settlement between themselves. The petitioners and the second respondent have filed a joint compromise memo to that effect duly signed by both of them.

¶6Under such circumstances, no useful purpose will be served in keeping C.C.No.920 of 2025 pending, even though, the offences involved are not compoundable in nature. In the light of the guidelines given by the Hon'ble Supreme Court reported in (2017) 9 SCC 641 - (Parbathbhai Aahir @ Parbathbhai Vs. State of Gujrath), and after exercising due caution as advised by the Hon'ble Suprme Court in The State of Madhya Pradesh v.

¶7Accordingly, this Criminal Original Petition stands allowed and consequently, S.C.No.40 of 2025 on the file of the learned District and Sessions Judge, Tirupattur, is quashed. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petitions are closed.
