3.The petitioners are accused No.1 to 13 in Crime No.15 of 2015. Based on the complaint lodged by the second respondent, as against the petitioners, a case was registered in Crime No.15 of 2015 for the alleged offences under Sections 498(A) and 494 IPC. 4.It appears that the parties have settled their dispute amicably, at the intervention of friends and relatives and they have also entered into a compromise. A Joint Compromise Memo, signed by both parties, in the presence of their respective counsel, is also produced before this Court. As per the Joint Compromise Memo, the de-facto complainant, namely, the second respondent has no objection for quashing the first information report in Crime No.15 of 2015.

5.Today, the parties appeared before this Court and expressed in unequivocal terms that they have signed the Joint Compromise Memo on their own free will and volition. The identity of the parties are verified with reference to the authenticated documents produced by the parties before this Court. The identity of the parties are also confirmed by the learned Additional Public Prosecutor through the first respondent police. 6.In view of the specific terms of the Joint Compromise Memo, this Court is of the view that no useful or fruitful purpose will be served by keeping this matter pending. Hence the First Information Report in Crime No.15 of 2015, on the file of the Inspector of Police, All Women Police Station, Thiruvadanai, Ramand District, is quashed in toto. The Joint Compromise Memo signed by the parties shall form part of the order. 7.Accordingly, the Criminal Original Petition is allowed.
