JUDGMENT :

V. RAMASUBRAMANIAN, J.

Permission to file Special Leave Petition(s) is granted in D.No.11748 of 2022.

2. Leave granted.

3. There are three Special Leave Petitions on hand, two of which challenge an Order passed by the High Court of Judicature at Madras in a Criminal Original Petition filed under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (for short “Cr.P.C”), quashing a criminal complaint in CC No.25 of 2021 pending on the file of the Additional Special Court for trial of cases related to Members of Parliament and Members of Legislative Assembly of Tamil Nadu, on the ground that all the victims have compromised their claims with the accused. The third Special Leave Petition arises out of an order of dismissal passed by the High Court in a Criminal Miscellaneous Petition filed by a third party by name Anti Corruption Movement, seeking the recall of the order dated 30.07.2021 in the quash petition.

4. We have heard the learned senior counsel appearing for the parties, which include the de facto complainant, persons named as accused as well as third parties who claim to be interested/ affected, albeit indirectly.
