COMMON ORDER

These Petitions are filed to quash the cases in C.C.No.366 of 2023 and C.C.No.457 of 2023, on the file of the Judicial Magistrate, Radhapuram.

2. The learned counsel for the petitioners seeks to quash the cases on compromise.

Considering the nature of allegations, in which major attracted offence is Section 506(ii) I.P.C and considering the joint compromise memos which are filed and the same is duly verified by the High Court Legal Services Committee pursuant to the earlier order of this Court, and after considering the nature of statements given by the listed witnesses in both the cases, I am of the view that the case falls within the nature of private dispute between the parties and within the four corners of the compoundable cases as enunciated by the Honourable Supreme Court of India in Gian Singh vs State of Punjab & Another reported in 2012(10)

SCC-303
