THIS CRIMINAL MISC. CASE HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON
23.02.2021, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING:
Crl.MC.No.761 OF 2021(E) 3
ORDER
Petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure.
2. The petitioner is the defacto complainant in Crime No.37 of
2019 registered for the offences punishable under Sections
406,498(A), 323 read with Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code before
the Kunnamangalam Police Station, now pending as C.C.No.221 of
2019 on the file of the Judicial First Class Magistrate Court,
Kunnamangalam.
3. It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that
the parties have resolved their entire disputes among themselves and
as such there is no subsisting dispute between them. Therefore, this
petition to quash Annexure A, B and all the further proceedings in
C.C.No.221/2019 on the files of Judicial First Class Magistrate Court,
Kunnamangalam.
4. Learned counsel appearing for respondent Nos.1,2 and 3
would submit that the petitioner has no grievance or complaints
against them. Annexure D,E and F are the affidavits sworn to by them
in support of the submission of the petitioner. The genuineness of the
affidavits are not in dispute and hence accepted.
5. The learned Public Prosecutor has reported that the
prosecution has no serious objection in allowing the petition. It is also
submitted that as the dispute has been amicably settled, the
possibility of conviction is remote and bleak and therefore, no useful
purpose would be served in proceeding with the case.
6. On hearing the submissions of all concerned and on perusal of
the records as well on consideration of the special facts and
circumstances involved in this case, I find that no fruitful purpose is
likely to be served by proceeding with the matter against this
petitioner. Moreover, no public interest is involved in the case and
there is no legal impediment in granting the prayer as sought for by
the petitioner. Therefore, for the purpose of securing the ends of
justice, this Crl.M.C is only to be allowed.
For the foregoing reasons Annexure A FIR and Annexure B Final
Report in Crime No.37 of 2019 of Kunnamangalam Police Station and
all further proceedings in C.C.No.221 of 2019 pending before the
Judicial First Class Magistrate Court, Kunnamangalam will stand
quashed as prayed for, exercising the powers of this Court under
Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure.
