Crl.M.C.No. 567 of 2021
3
O R D E R
Dated this the 12th of August 2021
The petitioners are accused 1 and 2 in Crime
No.504/2010 of Tirur Police Station for having allegedly
committed an offence punishable under Section 304A of the
I.P.C., which is now pending trial as C.C.No.1474/2013 on
the files of the Judicial First Class Magistrate Court-I,
Parappanangadi.
2. The petitioners are doctors and it was allegedly
due to the criminal negligence on the part of the
petitioners that the niece of the de facto complainant had
died on 25.06.2017 at MIMS Hospital, Calicut. There was
also an incident in which the doctors were allegedly
manhandled and a crime was registered against the persons,
who manhandled. Both these matters have been amicably
settled and the petitioners therefore seek to quash the
proceedings as against them in the aforesaid crime. The de
facto complainant has appeared through a Counsel and filed Crl.M.C.No. 567 of 2021
an affidavit at Annexure A2 to the effect that he has no
objection in quashing the proceedings against the
petitioners, since the matter has been settled between
them.
3. The learned Public Prosecutor has also got
instructions regarding the genuineness of the settlement.
The petitioners do not have any other criminal antecedents.
There is no public interest involved.
Resultantly, the Crl.M.C. is allowed and the entire
proceedings as against the petitioners in Crime No.504/2010
of Tirur Police Station, presently pending as
C.C.No.1474/2013 on the files of the Judicial First Class
Magistrate Court-I, Parappanangadi, shall stand quashed
under Section 482 of Cr.P.C. and the petitioners are
discharged and set at liberty.
