ORDER

This Criminal Original Petition is filed to call for the records and quash the charge sheet in C.C No. 177 of 2020 dated 18.11.2020 on the file of the Judicial Magistrate court, Melur, Madurai District.

2. The contention of the petitioners is that based on the complaint lodged by the 2nd respondent, the 1st respondent registered the First Information Report in Crime No.177 of 2020 for the offences punishable under Sections 498(A), 406, 294(b), 323 and 506(2) IPC, against the petitioners.

3. The further contention of the petitioners is that they compromised the issue with the 2nd respondent amicably. A joint memo of compromise was filed, which has been duly signed by the petitioners and the 2nd respondent and also by their respective counsels.

4. The petitioners and the 2nd respondent appeared before this Court along with their counsels and also produced their Aadhar cards. They were also identified by the learned Additional Public Prosecutor and the Investigation Officer. Both the parties were enquired by me and 2/4

they 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 petitioners and also in view of the joint compromise memo, dated 05.12.2023, this Court is of the opinion that no useful purpose will be served by keeping the matter pending. Hence, all further proceedings in C.C No. 177 of 2020 dated 18.11.2020 on the file of the Judicial Magistrate court, Melur, Madurai District, is quashed and the compromise memo is recorded.

6. In the result, the Criminal Original Petition stands allowed and the entire proceedings in C.C No. 177 of 2020 dated 18.11.2020 on the file of the Judicial Magistrate court, Melur, Madurai District, is hereby quashed in respect of the petitioners and the terms of joint compromise memo shall form part of this order.
