ORDER
The present petition has been filed by the accused in S.C.No.562 of 2025, on the file of the learned III Additional District and Sessions Court, Trichy, seeking to quash the charge sheet wherein the petitioner is charged with the offences under Sections 296(b), 118(1), 351(3), 109(1) of BNS, 2023.
2. A perusal of the charge sheet reveals that the accused person is said to have abused and attacked with the defacto complainant and the defacto complainant is said to have sustained injuries. A perusal of the statement of LW10 and LW11 revealed that the defacto complainant has sustained simple injuries.
3. The petitioner while taking lunch in a hotel had developed some wordy quarrel and therefore, there is no intention whatsoever to commit murder of the defacto complainant. In such circumstances, the invocation of Section 109(1) of BNS would not be attracted.
4. Today, the victim is present in person and he acknowledges the fact that he had agreed for quashing of the charge sheet.
CRL OP(MD) No. 22281 of 2026

6. Accordingly, this Criminal Original Petition stands allowed. The joint compromise memo shall form part and parcel of the order. 07-10-2026 rgm
