This Criminal Original Petition has been filed seeking to quash the charge sheet in C.C No. 27 of 2023 on the file of the Judicial Magistrate, Orathanadu, Thanjavur 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.131 of 2014 for the offences punishable under Sections 147, 148, 294(b), 323, 324 and 506(ii) of IPC against the petitioners. It appears that it is a dispute arose out of a settlement deed and now the parties are ready to settle the issue in an amicable manner. 3.The further contention of the petitioners is that they compromised the issue with the respondents 2 to 4 amicably. A joint memo of compromise was filed, which has been duly signed by the petitioners and the respondents 2 to 4 and also by their respective counsels.
