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.678 OF 2021(D) 2
ORDER
Dated this the 18th day of March 2021
Petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal
Procedure.
2. The petitioner is the sole accused in Crime No.3962 of
2020 of Nedumangad Police Station registered for the offences
punishable under Sections 294(b), 323 and 325 of Indian Penal Code,
now pending as C.C. No.4558 of 2020 on the file of the Judicial First
Class Magistrate-II, Nedumangad.
3. Heard both sides and perused the records.
4. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the
case has been instituted by the defacto complainant on some
misunderstanding and now the parties have resolved the minor
difference of opinion among themselves and as such there is no
subsisting dispute or misunderstanding between them. Therefore, this
petition to quash all further proceedings pursuant to Annexure II, final
report.
5. Learned counsel appearing for the third respondent has
submitted that she has absolutely no grievance or complaints against
the petitioner. Annexure III is the affidavit sworn to by her in support
of the submission of the petitioner. The affidavit further 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 and therefore, no useful purpose
would be served in proceeding with the case. On consideration of 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. Therefore, continuance of the case would
remain as a futile exercise. Moreover, no public interest is involved in
the case and there is no legal impediment in granting the prayer as
sought for by the petitioner. Hence, for the purpose of securing the
ends of justice, this Crl.M.C. is only to be allowed.
For the foregoing reasons, all further proceedings in C.C.
No.4558 of 2020 on the file of the Judicial First Class Magistrate,
Nedumangad arising from Crime No.3962 of 2020 of Nedumangad
Police Station, pursuant to Annexure II Final report will stand quashed
as prayed for.
