Suresh v. The Inspector of Police

ORDER This Criminal Original Petition has been filed seeking to quash the charge sheet in C.C.No.996 of 2019 pending on the file of the learned District Munsif Cum Judicial Magistrate, Thirupuvanam.

2.The contention of the petitioner is that based on the complaint lodged by the 2nd respondent, the 1st respondent registered the First Information Report in Crime No.13 of 2009 for the offences punishable under Sections 498(A) and 506(ii) of IPC, against the petitioner.

3.The further contention of the petitioner is that they compromised the issue with the 2nd respondent amicably. A joint memo of compromise was filed, which has been duly signed by the petitioner and the 2nd respondent and also by their respective counsels.

4.The petitioner and the 2nd respondent appeared before this Court along with their counsels and also produced their Aadhar cards. They were also identified by the learned Government Advocate (crl.side) and the Investigation Officer. Both the parties were enquired by me and they accepted the terms of compromise. Hence, the Compromise Memo is recorded.

5.Considering the totality of the circumstances, the nature of the allegations levelled against the petitioner and also in view of the joint compromise memo, dated 30.03.2023, this Court is of the opinion that no useful purpose will be served by keeping the matter pending and inclined to quash all further proceedings in C.C.No.996 of 2019, pending on the file of the learned District Munsif Cum Judicial Magistrate, Thirupuvanam, in respect of the petitioner.

6.In the result, the Criminal Original Petition stands allowed and the entire proceedings in C.C.No.996 of 2019 pending, on the file of the learned District Munsif Cum Judicial Magistrate, Thirupuvanam, is hereby quashed in respect of the petitioner alone.
