Crl.M.C.No.3708 of 2020
===========================
Dated this the 17th day of February, 2021
ORDER
Petitioners are the accused in Crime No.1113 of 2018
registered at the Hosdurg Police Station for offences punishable
under Sections 143, 147, 148, 341, 323, 324 r/w 149 of IPC,
now pending as C.C.No.452 of 2019 on the files of Judicial First
Class Magistrate-I, Hosdurg. The de facto complainant at whose
instance the crime was registered, and the other injured persons
are 2nd and 3rd respondents herein. Annexure AIII affidavit has
been filed by the 2nd respondent and Annexure AIV filed by the
3rd respondent stating that the dispute has been settled and they
have no subsisting grievance against the petitioners.
2. Heard the learned Public Prosecutor also, who, on
instructions, submits that the petitioners have no criminal
antecedents.
3. Having considered the gravity of the offences alleged,
nature of the injury caused and having perused the affidavit filed
by the 2nd and 3rd respondents, the contents of which are
submitted to be true and voluntary, I am satisfied that the
dispute is settled and that 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.
4. In the result, this Crl.M.C is allowed. The proceedings in
C.C.No.452 of 2019 on the files of Judicial First Class Magistrate-
I, Hosdurg is quashed.
