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.202 of 2022 for the offences punishable under Sections 294(b) and 324 of IPC and Section 4 of Tamil Nadu Prohibition of Harassment of Women Act, against the petitioner. 3.The further contention of the petitioner 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 petitioner 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.

Even though the petitioner got previous cases, it appears that it is a matrimonial issue between the husband and wife. Both the parties were enquired by me and they accepted the terms of compromise. Hence, the Compromise Memo is recorded. 5.

compromise memo, dated 16.11.2022, this Court is of the opinion that no useful purpose will be served by keeping the matter pending. Hence, all further proceedings in Crime No.202 of 2022 pending on the file of the 1st respondent police is quashed and the compromise memo is recorded. 6.In the result, the Criminal Original Petition stands allowed and the entire proceedings in Crime No.202 of 2022, pending on the file of the 1st respondent police is hereby quashed in respect of the petitioner and the terms of joint compromise memo shall form part of this order. 18.11.2022 Index : Yes/No Internet : Yes/No TM Note: In view of the present lock down owing to COVID-19 pandemic, a web copy of the order may be utilized for official purposes, but, ensuring that the copy of the order that is presented is the correct copy, shall be the responsibility of the advocate/litigant concerned. 3/5
