Dated this the 18th day of February, 2021
ORDER
Petitioners are the accused in Crime No. 224 of 2010
registered at the Kalpakanchery Police Station for offences
punishable under Sections 341, 323, 324, 325 r/w 34 of IPC, now
pending as C.C.No.1150 of 2016 on the file of Judicial First Class
Magistrate -I, Tirur. The de facto complainant at whose instance
the crime was registered and the injured are respondents 3, 4
and 5. Annexure A3 affidavit has been filed by the 3rd
respondent, Annexure A4 filed by the 4 th respondent and
Annexure A5 filed by the 5th respondent stating that the dispute
has been settled and that 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 respondents 3, 4 and 5, 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.1150 of 2016 on the file of Judicial First Class Magistrate
-I, Tirur is quashed.
