THIS CRIMINAL MISC. CASE HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 07.07.2021,
THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING:
Crl.MC.No.2369 OF 2021 3
O R D E R
Dated this the 7th day of July 2021
Petitioners are accused in Crime
No.1507/2015 of Museum Police Station for having
allegedly committed the offences punishable
under Sections 294(b), 323, 324 and 308 read
with Section 34 IPC.
2. The defacto complainant and the
aggrieved is the third respondent. The final
report has already been filed after
investigation and the case is now pending on the
files of the 1st Additional Assistant Session's
Court, Thiruvananthapuram as S.C. No. 1748/2019.
The petitioners stated that the matter has been
amicably settled with the defacto complainant
and that the incident had occurred while the
petitioners and also the third respondent who
are the students of Government Law College,
Thiruvananthapuram and the defacto complainant
has no objection in quashing the proceedings
against the petitioners. The defacto complainant
has appeared through counsel and filed an
affidavit to the effect that the matter has been
amicably settled and that he has no objection
in quashing the proceedings against the
petitioners. After having heard both sides, and
the submission of the learned Public Prosecutor,
who has got instructions regarding the
settlement of the dispute between the
petitioners and the defacto complainant, I find
that no purpose will be served in prosecuting
the accused. Even though offence under Section
308 IPC has been incorporated, the injury
sustained was not so serious. The petitioners
do not have reported any criminal antecedents.
There is no public interest involved. In such
circumstances, I find that proceeding with the
prosecution need not be necessary.
In the result, the Crl.M.C is allowed.
The entire proceedings as against the
petitioners in Crime No.1507/2015 of Museum
Police Station, presently pending as S.C.
No.1748/2019 on the files of the 1st Additional
Sessions Court, Thiruvananthapuram stands
quashed under Section 482 of the CRPC and the
accused are discharged and set at liberty.
