ORDER
This Criminal Original Petition has been filed to quash the impugned FIR in Crime no.163 of 2018 pending on the file of the Vaniyambadi Town Police Station, Thirupathur.
2. The case of the prosecution is that the defacto complainant is running a shop adjacent to the shop owned by the cousin of the second respondent and there was some dispute between them. Due to which the petitioners abused and attacked the defacto complainant in filthy language. Hence, the defacto complainant has lodged the complaint against the petitioner and the same was registered as FIR in Crime. No.163 of 2018 for the offence under sections 294(b),323,324 and 506(2) of IPC. To quash the same the present petition has been filed.
3. Heard both sides and perused the materials available on record.
4. Admittedly both the FIRs are registered in the year 2018 and the first respondent has not filed a final report till date. Hence, the Court below cannot take cognizance beyond a period of years as the same is hit by the provisions of
CRL OP No. 29913 of 2026
Section 468 of Cr.P.C. It is seen for the very same occurrence, the petitioners have also lodged a complaint against the defacto complaint and the same registered as FIR in Crime No.164 of 2018.
5. On a perusal of records it is seen that the FIR is pending from the year 2018 and the same is hit by the provisions of Section 468 of Cr.P.C . It is also seen that the offence is trivial in nature. Hence, in order to meet the ends of justice, this Court is inclined to quash both the FIR’s. Accordingly this Criminal Original Petition is allowed and both the FIRs registered in Crime Nos. 164 of 2018 and 163 of 2018 on the file of the first respondent are hereby quashed. 15-10-2026 Index: Yes/No Speaking/Non-speaking order Neutral Citation: Yes/No SMN To.
