The petition is to quash the impugned final report registered for the offences under Sections 417 and 376(2)(n) I.P.C.

2. The gist of the allegation in the impugned final report is that the petitioner on the promise of marriage had sexual intercourse with the defacto complainant and thereafter refused to marry the defacto complainant and thus committed the aforesaid offences.

3. The learned counsel for the petitioner would submit that the parties have since arrived at a compromise and the defacto complaint is now married to the petitioner; that the marriage is registered; and that a child is also born out of the wedlock. The parties have arrived at a compromise and filed a joint compromise memo dated 28.10.2025 and both the parties have agreed that the impugned final report may be quashed.
