 Crl.MC.No.5627 OF 2020(C)           2




                              ORDER

Petition filed under section 482 Cr.P.C.

2. The petitioners are the accused in Crime

No.1167/2020 of Hosdurg Police Station for the

offence punishable under Section 341, 323, 324,

506(ii), 308, r/w 34 of IPC.

3. Heard both sides and perused the records.

4. The public prosecutor submits that the

defacto complainant had given a statement to the

Investigating Officer that the matter has been

settled between the parties.

5. I have perused the affidavits (Annexure-AII

and Annexure-AIII) filed by the 2nd and 3rd

respondents. I am satisfied that the matter has been

settled and no public interest is involved in this

case. There is no impediment for granting the prayer

of the petitioners. Continuation of the proceedings

will be a harassment and an abuse of the process of

court.

In view of the above, Annexure A1 FIR in Crime

No.1167/2020 of Hosdurg Police station, Kasaragod is

quashed. Crl.M.C. is allowed accordingly.
