THIS CRIMINAL MISC. CASE HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON
09.04.2021, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING:
CRL.M.C.NO.1774 OF 2021
2
ORDER
Dated this the 9th day of April 2021
Petitioner is the third accused in Crime No.83/2017
registered at the Manjeswar Police Station, Kasaragod,
for offences punishable under Sections 341, 323, 324 &
308 read with Section 34 of IPC, now pending as
S.C.No.591/2019 on the files of Assistant Sessions Court,
Kasaragod. The de facto complainant and the other
injured person are arrayed as 2nd and 3rd respondents
and have filed Annexure-A2(a) and A2(b) affidavits
stating that the dispute, which was the reason for the
incident and registration of the crime, has been resolved
amicably and they have no subsisting grievance against
the petitioner.
2. Heard the learned Public Prosecutor also, who,
on instructions, submits that the petitioner has no
criminal antecedents.
3. Having considered the gravity of the offences
alleged, nature of the injury caused and having perused
the affidavits filed by 2nd and 3rd respondents, the CRL.M.C.NO.1774 OF 2021
contents of which are submitted to be true and voluntary,
I am satisfied that the dispute is settled and no public
interest is involved in this matter. Moreover, in view of
the settlement, possibility of the criminal proceedings
ending in conviction is remote. As such, continuance of
the proceedings will amount to an abuse of process of
court and hence, in view of the legal position set out by
the Honourable Supreme Court in Madan Mohan Abbot
v. State of Punjab [(2008) 4 SCC 582] and Gian Singh
v. State of Punjab and another [(2012) 10 SCC 303],
there is no impediment in granting the relief sought.
In the result, this Crl.M.C is allowed.
Further proceedings in S.C.No.591/2019, pending before
the Assistant Sessions Court, Kasaragod, arising out of
Crime No.83/2017 of Manjeswar Police Station is quashed.
