This Criminal Original Petition has been filed seeking to quash the charge sheet in C.C.No.228 of 2019, pending on the file of the learned Judicial Magistrate Court, Thenkasi.

2.The contention of the petitioner is that based on the complaint lodged by the 2nd respondent, the 1st respondent registered the First Information Report in Crime No.441 of 2014 for the offences punishable under Sections 294(b), 323 and 506(ii) of IPC, against the petitioner.

They were also identified by the learned Additional Public Prosecutor and the Investigation Officer. Both the parties were enquired by me and they accepted the terms of compromise. Hence, the Compromise Memo is recorded. 2/5
