THIS CRIMINAL MISC. CASE HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON
02.11.2021, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING:
-2-
CRL.MC NO. 4471 OF 2021
ORDER
This Crl.M.C. has been filed seeking to quash all further
proceedings in C.C No. 566/2019 on the files of Judicial First Class
Magistrate Court II, Kochi, which arose out of crime No. 588/2019
of Palluruthy Kasaba police station, which has been registered for
the offences punishable under Sections 498(A), 294(b) r/w 34 IPC.
2. Adv. P.F. Rosy appeared on behalf of the defacto
complainant and reports about the settlement arrived at between
the defacto complainant and the petitioners.
3. The learned Public Prosecutor filed a report along with
the copy of the statement of the defacto complainant.
4. Annexure A3 is the affidavit duly sworn in by the defacto
complainant.
5. It has come out from the affidavit as well as the
statement given to the SHO that the entire matrimonial issues
between the petitioners and the defacto complainant have been
amicably settled out of court. The defacto complainant is not
interested in prosecuting the case further against the petitioners in
the above crime. Hence the continuation of the proceedings against
CRL.MC NO. 4471 OF 2021
the petitioners will not serve any useful purpose and it will be an
abuse of process of court. So, I do not find any impediment in
quashing the further proceedings against the petitioners in the
above crime.
In the result, this Crl.M.C. stands allowed and all further
proceedings against the petitioners in C.C. No. 566/2019 on the
file of the Judicial First Class Magistrate Court II, Kochi in crime No
588 of 2019 of Palluruthy Kasaba police station, is hereby quashed.
