2. The first respondent has filed a charge sheet stating that the petitioners have committed the alleged offences under Sections 294(b), 354, 506(i), 498(A), 323 of IPC and based on the same the learned Judicial Magistrate, Arakkonam, Vellore District has taken the case on file as C.C.No.97 of 2018.

3.The case is still in the stage of trial. By passage of time, the parties have decided to bury their hatchet and compromise the dispute amicably among themselves.

4. A Compromise memo, dated 19.12.2019, has been filed before this Court which have been signed by the petitioners and the 2nd respondent/ defacto complainant and also by the counsel for the petitioners.

State of Gujrath), this Court in exercise of its jurisdiction under Section 482 Cr.P.C. quashes the Case in C.C.No.97 of 2018 on the file of the learned Judicial Magistrate, Arakkonam, Vellore against the petitioners herein.
