THIS CRIMINAL MISC. CASE HAVING COME UP FOR
ADMISSION ON 04.12.2021, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED
THE FOLLOWING:
CRL.MC NO. 5933 OF 2020
..3..
JUDGMENT
This Crl.M.C. has been filed seeking to quash the
entire further proceedings against the
petitioners/accused in CC No. 2104 of 2018 on the
file of the Judicial First Class Magistrate
Court-II, Cherthala, registered for the offences
punishable under Sections 323 & 324 r/w Section
34 of the Indian Penal Code, which arose from
Crime No. 973 of 2018 of Poochakal Police
Station.
2. The petitioners are accused 1 and 2 in the crime
and the 3rd respondent is the de facto complainant
and respondents 4 & 5 are the other injured
persons. Annexure A1 is the certified copy of the
final report. Annexure A2 is the certified copy
of the FIR and Annexures A3, A4 & A5 are the
affidavits sworn in by the de facto
complainant/3rd respondent and respondents 4 & 5
respectively.
3. It is submitted by the learned counsel for the CRL.MC NO. 5933 OF 2020
..4..
petitioners that the petitioners have amicably
settled the entire issues with the de facto
complainant/3rd respondent and respondents 4 & 5.
4. Adv.S.Abdul Jaleel appeared on behalf of the de
facto complainant/3rd respondent and respondents
4 & 5 and reported about the settlement arrived
at between the parties.
5. The learned Public Prosecutor produced copy of
the report of the Sub Inspector of Police,
Poochakkal Police Station along with a copy of
the signed statement of the de facto
complainant/3rd respondent.
6. It has come out from the affidavits duly sworn in
by respondents 3 to 5 as well as the copy of the
signed statement of the de facto complainant
given to the SHO that the entire issues between
the petitioners and the 3rd respondent/de facto
complainant and respondents 4 and 5 have been
amicably settled between the parties out of court
and they have no surviving grievance against the
petitioners and they have no intention to proceed CRL.MC NO. 5933 OF 2020
..5..
with the matter.
7. Since the entire issues between the parties have
been amicably settled out of court, there is no
impediment in quashing the proceedings against
the petitioners and further continuance of the
proceedings against them will be an abuse of
process of court. No public interest is involved
and the issues are purely personal in nature.
Therefore, I am of the view that it is only just
and proper to quash the entire proceedings in CC
No. 2104 of 2018 on the file of the Judicial
First Class Magistrate Court-II, Cherthala, which
arose from Crime No. 973 of 2018 of Poochakal
Police Station. It is ordered accordingly.
In the result, Crl.M.C. stands allowed.
