The Criminal Original Petition has been filed to call for the records and quash the above FIR in Crime No.12 of 2020 on the file of the Inspector of Police, W16, All Women Police Station, Pulianthope, Chennai.

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.
