THIS CRIMINAL MISC. CASE HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 19.11.2021, THE COURT ON
THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING:
Crl.M.C. No.4431 of 2021
2
ORDER
An unnecessary lingering came in the mind of the
Magistrate, inspite of Annexure-A4 order of this Court, has
driven the petitioner to approach this Court with a second
application under Section 482 of the Cr.P.C. for quashing the
proceedings against the petitioner against whom offence under
Sections 468, 471, 420 of the IPC were alleged.
2. At first, the parties approached the trial Court with C.M.P. No.
3153 of 2018 intimating the settlement. But for the reason that
offence under Section 468 and 471 are not compoundable, that
application was dismissed by Annexure-A3 order. Then the
petitioner has approached this Court with Crl. M.C. No. 5140 of
2019 by Annexure-A4 order giving sufficient hinds and also
citing the decisions in Madan Mohan Abbot v. State of Punjab
[(2008) 4 SCC 582], Gian Singh v. State of Punjab and
another [(2012) 10 SCC 303] and Parbatbhai Aahir @
Parbatbhai Bhimsinhbai v. State of Gujarat and another
[(2017) 9 SCC 641] this Court quashed the proceedings. Still the Crl.M.C. No.4431 of 2021
learned Magistrate seems to be not satisfied and directed the
petitioner to produce a clarification order from the High Court. I
do not know what is to be clarified despite the fact that the Court
had quashed Annexure-A3 order dated 24.10.2018 after taking
note of the affidavit of the 3rd respondent to the effect that the
dispute has been resolved amicably and they have no subsisting
grievance against each other.
4. Whatever it may be, it is quite obvious from the version
of the parties that the matter is settled and therefore, entire
proceedings in C.C. No. 299 of 2015 pending before the Judicial
First Class Magistrate's Court, Tripunithura are quashed and the
petitioner shall stand exonerated.
The Criminal Miscellaneous Case is allowed as above.
