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.
