      THIS CRIMINAL MISC. CASE HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 30.07.2021, THE

COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING:
 Crl.MC.No.3183 OF 2021    2




                              O R D E R

Dated this the 30th day of July 2021

The petitioner is the first accused in Crime

No.97/2016 of Nadapuram Police Station, for having

allegedly committed the offences punishable under

Sections 143, 147,148, 341, 323, 324 & 308 read

with Section 149 of the IPC.

2. The injured defacto complainant is the third

respondent herein. The petitioner states that the

matter has been amicably settled between the

petitioner and the defacto complainant third

respondent. Therefore, the entire proceedings as

against him may be quashed under Section 482 CRPC.

The defacto complainant third respondent has

appeared through counsel and filed affidavit at

Annexure A3 stating that he has no grievance against

the petitioner and that he has no objection in

quashing the proceedings charged against the

petitioner.

3. The learned Public Prosecutor has also

got instructions regarding the genuineness of the

settlement. The petitioner has one more criminal

antecedents according to the learned Public

Prosecutor. But that is an offence under Sections

447 and 427 and he stands acquitted in that crime.

Therefore, it cannot be stated that he has

criminal antecedents. Even though an offence under

Section 308 has been incorporated in this crime,

there is no serious injury sustained by the defacto

complainant and he has no grievance also. Under

such circumstances, I find that no purpose will be

served by proceeding with the trial as against the

petitioner. There is no public interest involved.

In the result, the Crl.M.C is allowed. The

entire proceedings in Crime No.97 of 2016 of

Police Station presently pending as S.C.

No.337/2019 on the file of the Assistant Sessions

Court, Vadakara as against the petitioner stands

quashed under Section 482 of the CRPC and the

petitioner herein is discharged and set at liberty.
