THIS CRIMINAL MISC. CASE HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON
18.03.2021, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING:
Crl.MC.No.813 OF 2021(B) 2
ORDER
Petition under Section 482 of the Code
of Criminal Procedure.
2. The petitioner is the accused in Crime
No. 898 of 2014 of Feroke Police Station registered
for the offences punishable under Sections 498A,
406 read with Section 34 of Indian Penal Code, now
pending as C.C. No. 527 of 2015 on the file of the
Judicial First Class Magistrate-V, Kozhikode.
3. Heard both sides and perused the
records.
4. It is submitted by the learned counsel
for the petitioner that the parties have resolved
the entire dispute among themselves and there is no
subsisting dispute between them. Therefore, this
petition to quash Annexure A1 FIR, Annexure A2
charge sheet and all further proceedings in
C.C.No.527 of 2015 on the file of Judicial First
Class Magistrate Court V, Kozhikode.
5. Learned counsel appearing for the 2nd
respondent/defacto complainant has submitted that
she has absolutely no grievance or complaint
against the petitioner. Annexure A4, the affidavit
sworn to by her, indicates that she has no
intention to pursue the matter further.
6. The learned Public Prosecutor has
reported that the prosecution has no serious
objection in allowing the petition.
7. As the dispute has been amicably
settled, the possibility of conviction is remote
and bleak.
8. Therefore, considering the special
facts and circumstances involved in this case, I
find that no fruitful purpose is likely to be
served by proceeding with the matter against the
petitioner. Moreover, no public interest is
involved in the case and there is no legal
impediment in granting the prayer as sought for by
the petitioners. Therefore, for the purpose of
securing the ends of justice, this Crl.M.C. is only
to be allowed.
For the foregoing reasons, Annexure A1 FIR,
Annexure A2 charge sheet and all further
proceedings in C.C. No. 527 of 2015 on the file of
the Judicial First Class Magistrate-V, Kozhikode
arising from Crime No.898 of 2014 of Feroke
Police Station, will stand quashed as prayed for.
