Thomson v. The Sub Inspector of Police
Case brief
What is this about?
The Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court dismissed a Criminal Original Petition filed under Section 482 CrPC seeking quashing of an FIR on the ground of compromise. The court refused to quash the FIR as the parties were absent despite being listed for appearance, raising doubts about the genuineness of the compromise, noting a final report had already been filed.
What did the court decide?
The Criminal Original Petition was dismissed without quashing the FIR. Parties were given liberty to challenge the final report filed before the trial court.
