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.5894 OF 2020 3
O R D E R
Dated this the 7th day of July 2021
Petitioners are all accused in Crime
No.2026/2019 of Ernakulam Central Police Station
in which the final report has already been filed
and taken on file of the Chief Judicial
Magistrate Court, Ernakulam as C.C.No.151/2020
for having allegedly committed the offences
punishable under Sections 406 and 420 read with
Section 34 IPC.
2. The defacto complainant and the
aggrieved is the third respondent. The
petitioners stated that the matter has been
amicably settled with the defacto complainant
and that he 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 does not
wish to prosecute them any further. Moreover,
it is also stated that he has no objection in
quashing the proceedings against the petitioners
and the matter may be quashed. The learned
Public Prosecutor had also under instructions
submitted that the matter has been amicably
settled. The petitioners do not have 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.2026/2019 of Ernakulam
Central Police Station, presently pending before
the Chief Judicial Magistrate Court, Ernakulam
as C.C. No.151/2020 stands quashed under Section
482 of the CRPC and the accused are discharged
and set at liberty.
