THIS CRIMINAL MISC. CASE HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON
19.02.2021, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING:
Crl.MC.No.646 OF 2021(A) ..3..
ORDER
Dated this the 19th day of February 2021
Petitioner is the accused in Crime No.776/2014
registered at the Dharmadom Police Station for
offences punishable under Sections 143, 147, 148,
341, 323, 324 and 308 r/w 149 of IPC, now pending as
S.C.No.294/2015 on the files of the Additional Sub
Court, Thalassery. The de facto complainant, at whose
instance the crime was registered, is arrayed as the
2nd respondent. Annexure-A3 affidavit has been filed
by 2nd respondent stating that the dispute, which was
the reason for the incident and registration of the
crime, has been resolved amicably and he has no
subsisting grievance against the petitioners.
2. Heard the learned Public Prosecutor also,
who, on instructions, submits that the petitioners Crl.MC.No.646 OF 2021(A) ..4..
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 respondent, the
contents of which are submitted to be true and
voluntary, I am satisfied that the dispute is settled and
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.
Crl.MC.No.646 OF 2021(A) ..5..
In the result, this Crl.M.C is allowed. The
proceedings in S.C.No.294/2015 on the files of the
Additional Sub Court, Thalassery is quashed.
