Karthick v. The State of Tamilnadu Rep by the Inspector of Police

Order

¶1This Criminal Original Petition seeks to quash the Crime No.60 of 2026, on the file of the first respondent police for alleged offences under Sections 126(2), 296(b), 115(2), 118(1), 109(1), 351(3) of BNS, 2023 r/w. Section 4 of Tamil Nadu Prohibition of Harassment of Women Act, 2002, 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 Page3 of 4 528 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 a wordy quarrel arose. In view of the fact that the defacto complainant parked the vehicle in front of the house of the accused, it ensued into a conflict, and the case has been registered.

¶4Thus, it can be seen that this matter is a fit case for the exercise of extraordinary jurisdiction to quash the case on compromise.

¶5Accordingly, this Crl.O.P. No.17196 of 2026 stands allowed. The Crime No.60 of 2026, on the file of the first respondent police stands quashed. Consequently, the connected miscellaneous petition is closed. 06-07-2026 AH Page4 of 4 D.BHARATHA CHAKRAVARTHY J. AH To
