A.Sharmila v. State Rep.By the Inspector of Police,

Order

¶1This Criminal Original Petition seeks to quash the FIR in Crime No.196 of 2026, on the file of the first respondent, for alleged offences under Sections 191(2), 191(3), 329(4), 296(b), 133, 305 and 351(3) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, Section 75 of the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015 and Section 3 of the Tamil Nadu Property (Prevention of Damage and Loss) Act, 1992, 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.

¶2The 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.

¶3The gist of facts leading to the instant case are that it is a case and counter arising out of a quarrel that ensued upon the vehicle being Page4 of 5 parked in front of the house of the defacto complainant, and subsequently, the conflict escalated, resulting in the registration of both cases.

¶4Thus, 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.16337 of 2026 stands allowed. The FIR in Crime No.196 of 2026, on the file of the first respondent police stands quashed. 06-07-2026 AH To
