This Criminal Original Petition has been filed seeking to quash the charge sheet in J.C.No.287 of 2022 on the file of the Juvenile Justice Board, Tuticorin.

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.1072 of 2020 for the offences punishable under Sections 153, 505(2) of IPC, against the petitioner. 3.The further contention of the petitioner is that they compromised the issue with the 2nd respondent amicably.

They were also identified by the learned Additional Public Prosecutor and the Investigation Officer. Both the parties were enquired by me and they 2/4

accepted the terms of compromise. Hence, the Compromise Memo is recorded.

5.Considering the totality of the circumstances, the nature of the allegations levelled against the petitioner and also in view of the joint compromise memo, dated 21.07.2023, this Court is of the opinion that no useful purpose will be served by keeping the matter pending. Hence, all further proceedings in J.C.No.287 of 2022 on the file of the Juvenile Justice Board, Tuticorin, is quashed and the compromise memo is recorded.
