K.Annasamy v. State Rep by Its
Case brief
What is this about?
The High Court of Madras allowed a Criminal Original Petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. to quash the FIR in Crime No.82 of 2022. The court held that since the parties had amicably settled the dispute via a joint compromise affidavit, quashing the FIR was necessary to serve no useful purpose.
What did the court decide?
The First Information Report in Crime No.82 of 2022 pending on the file of the first respondent police was quashed, and the connected miscellaneous petition was closed.
