THIS CRIMINAL MISC. CASE HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON
23.11.2021, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING:
Crl.M.C.No.5106 OF 2021 3
ORDER
Petitioners are the accused in Crime No.1028/2021 of
Vadakkekara police station registered on 24.10.2021 alleging
offence under Sections 341, 323 and 324 read with 34 of the Indian
Penal Code. The matter is being investigated by the police.
Respondents 1 and 2 are the injured. Now it is submitted that the
matter is settled between the parties. Therefore, further proceedings
are sought to be quashed under Section 482 of the Code of
Criminal Procedure.
2. I heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and also
the learned Senior Public Prosecutor.
3. According to the learned Senior Public Prosecutor, the
respondents have not appeared before police and their statement
regarding settlement could not be recorded. However, contending
that the police is being harassing them, respondents 1 and 2 have
already moved W.P.(C.) No. 24161/2021 and when that case was
taken up, the learned Government Pleader had made an undertaking
that no such harassment has been done. Anyhow, from Annexure
A2 and A3 affidavits, it is quite clear that the case is settled and
they do not pursue the proceedings. It also seems that the
respondents did not sustain serious injuries.
4. Therefore, accepting the averments in the affidavits,
entire proceedings pursuant to the registration of Crime No.
1028/2021 of Vadakkekara police station are quashed.
Crl.M.C. is allowed as above.
