ORDER
This petition has been filed to quash the FIR in Crime No.231 of 2025 pending on the file of the first respondent police.
2. The case of the prosecution is that, on 09.09.2026, the de facto complainant’s two-wheeler collided with road barricades near Samayapuram Mariyamman Temple Junction, Salem District. The petitioners, who were working at the temple, allegedly assaulted and threatened him. Based on the complaint lodged by the 2nd respondent, 1st respondent registered the FIR in Crime No.231 of 2026 for the offence under Sections 296(b), 115(2) and 351(2) of BNS, 2023. For the very set of allegations, one of the accused also lodged complaint, in which FIR was registered in Crime No.232 of 2026 for the offence under Sections 296(b), 118(1) and 351(3) of BNS, 2023.
3. Considering the fact that the entire allegations in both the FIR are trivial in nature and in order to meet the ends of justice, this Court is inclined to quash both the FIRs and accordingly FIR’S registered in Crime Nos. 231 & 232 of 2026 on the file of first respondent are hereby quashed.
