THIS CRIMINAL MISC. CASE HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON
08.01.2021, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING:
Crl.MC.No.7151 OF 2019(D) ..2..
ORDER
Dated this the 8th day of January 2021
Petitioner is the accused in Crime No.438/2017
registered at the Ernakulam South Railway Police
Station for offences punishable under Sections 511
and 379 of IPC, now pending as C.C.No.55/2018 on
the files of the Judicial First Class Magistrate Court-
I, Ernakulam. The de facto complainant, at whose
instance the crime was registered, is arrayed as the
2nd respondent. Annexure-A2 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 petitioner.
2. Heard the learned Public Prosecutor also,
who, on instructions, submits that the petitioner Crl.MC.No.7151 OF 2019(D) ..3..
has 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 2 nd
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.7151 OF 2019(D) ..4..
In the result, this Crl.M.C is allowed. The
proceedings in C.C.No.55/2018 on the files of the
Judicial First Class Magistrate Court-I, Ernakulam
is quashed.
