This Criminal Original Petition is filed to call for the records relating to the Crime no.152 of 2023 pending on the file of the first respondent and quash the same.

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.152 of 2023 for the offences punishable under Sections 147, 341, 294(b) and 323 of IPC and Section 3(1)(r), 3(1) (s) and 3(2)(va) of SC/ST Act against the petitioners. 3.The further contention of the petitioners is that they compromised the issue with the 2nd respondent amicably. A joint memo 2/5

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.

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 28.11.2023, 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.152 of 2023 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.152 of 2023, pending on the file of 3/5

the 1st respondent police is hereby quashed in respect of the petitioners and the terms of joint compromise memo shall form part of this order. 14.12.2023 NCC :
