A Compromise Memo has been filed before this Court, which has been signed by the petitioners and the defacto complainant and also by their respective counsel.

Court in exercise of its jurisdiction under Section 528 of BNSS, 2023, quashes the FIR in Crime No.181 of 2024 pending investigation on the file of the first respondent.

In view of the above, the FIR in Crime No.181 of 2024 on the file of the first respondent, is hereby quashed. The terms of Compromise Memo shall form part and parcel of this Order. The petitioners shall pay a sum of Rs.2,000/-, (Rupees Two Thousand only) each as costs, to the Chief Justice Relief Fund, Tamil Nadu, forthwith and file a photocopy of the receipt along with a memo reporting compliance in the Registry.
