ORDER

The present petition has been filed by the accused persons in P.R.C.No.56 of 2025 on the file of the learned Judicial Magistrate, Valliyoor, seeking to quash the charge sheet, wherein they are charged with offences under Sections

294(b), 448, 324, 307, 342, 427, 506(ii) and 326 IPC.

2. Pending trial, the parties have entered into a compromise, wherein the defacto complainant had agreed for quashing of the charge sheet.

3. The defacto complainant is present in person before this Court and he acknowledged the fact that he had agreed for quashing of the charge sheet. 4. A perusal of the charge sheet reveals that there was an altercation between the accused persons and the defacto complainant and the accused persons attacked the defacto complainant on his left thigh and knee. The Doctor, who had treated the defacto complainant, in his 161 statement, has stated that the defacto complainant had suffered three minor injuries and one grievous injury. The laceration wounds on the thigh portion would clearly reveal that only Section 326 IPC would get attracted and not Section 307 IPC. The Hon'ble Supreme Court, in the judgment in Naushey Ali and others Vs. State of U.P and another reported in (2025) 4 SCC 78, while quashing the charge sheet arising out of Section 307 IPC, was pleased to hold that only Section 326 IPC is attracted and thereafter proceeded to record the procedure for quashing of the charge sheet on the basis of compromise.

5. In view of the above said judgment of the Hon'ble Supreme Court and in view of the compromise entered into between the parties, the charge sheet in P.R.C.No.56 of 2025 on the file of the learned Judicial Magistrate, Valliyoor, is hereby quashed.

6. Accordingly, this Criminal Original Petition stands allowed. The joint compromise memo shall form part and parcel of this order.
