4. Under such circumstances, no useful purpose will be served in keeping the First Information Report pending, even though, the offences involved are not compoundable in nature. 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), this Court in exercise of its jurisdiction under Section 482 Cr.P.C. quashes the First Information Report in Crime No.2305 of 2014.

5. It is also seen that the petitioner and the second respondent got married and gave birth to two children. They also produced the Birth Certificates and it shows that the petitioner is the father of the children and they are living happily in their home. Therefore, the pendency of the First Information Report would not serve any purpose. Accordingly, this Criminal Original Petition stands allowed and as a sequel, the proceedings in Crime No.2305 of 2014, on the file of the Inspector of Police, P6, Kodungaiyur Police Station, Chennai is quashed.
