Kannan v. State of Tamilnadu Rep.By,

O R D E R The Criminal Original Petition is filed to quash the final report and proceedings in S.C.No.331 of 2025 on the file of the III Additional District and Session Judge, Dharapuram, on compromise.

¶2The Joint Compromise Memo is filed and the supporting affidavits are also filled. The de facto complainant is present before this Court and upon examination, he would submit that the case can be quashed on compromise.

¶3I have gone through the allegations contained in the final report as well as the First Information Report and the 161 statement recorded during the course of investigation. It contains the details of several monetary transactions between the accused and the de facto complainant, including investing in Demat account and at one point of time, when the money became due, it is alleged that they took the de facto complainant in a vehicle, against his wish, and they have taken him to the forest area and threatened him and tried to extract money. Hence, the case was registered and the offence is taken cognisance under Sections 147 and 365 of the Indian Penal Code.

¶4A closer scrutiny of the allegations would reveal that it will not have any societal impact but is a private transaction between the de facto Page4 of 6 complainant and the accused. The entire issue arises out of series of money transactions that are alleged on behalf of the parties.

¶5In view thereof, I am of the view that this case would fall within the gamut of cases where this Court can interfere and watch the proceedings in exercise of the extraordinary jurisdiction under Section 528 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 as per the law laid down by the Honourable Supreme Court of India in Gian Singh vs. State of Punjab1.

¶6Accordingly, this Criminal Original petition stands allowed; Crime No.1687 of 2020 stands quashed and the final report and all further proceedings in S.C.No.331 of 2025 on the file of the III Additional District and Session Judge, Dharapuram stands quashed. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petitions are closed. 03-07-2026
