    Court Decision Summary The Additional District Court of Perambalur dismissed the petition seeking to quash Criminal Case No. 22/2015 against Asha B. The court held that since the case involves charges under IPC Section 354 (outraging modesty), which carries up to 5 years imprisonment, it falls outside the 3-year limitation period under CrPC Section 468(2), and therefore the case cannot be quashed on limitation grounds. The court relied on the Supreme Court's decision in *Ghanshyam Soni v. State NCT Delhi*, establishing that the limitation period for quashing is calculated from the date of filing the complaint, not from when cognizance is taken. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
