ORDER
Petitioners are the accused in C.C. No. 248 of 2020 pending
before the Judicial First Class Magistrate's Court, Payyannur
which arose from Crime No. 491 of 2019 of Payangadi police
station where the petitioners face allegations under Sections 143,
147, 148 341, 323, 324 read with Section 149 of the IPC.
2. The alleged incident had happened within the premises of
Madayi Co-operative Arts and Science College and the
petitioners as well as the injured, respondents 2 and 3, were
students of the college. It is alleged that on 05.09.2019 at 4 p.m.
in connection with the college union election, the accused
persons formed an unlawful assembly and in prosecution of their
object, assaulted and injured CWs 1 and 2 who are respondents 2
and 3 respectively; they were assaulted with a wooden reaper,
bangle and also brick piece covered in clothes and caused
injuries. Now contending that the matter is settled with
respondents 2 and 3, petitioners have moved this Court under
Section 482 of the Cr.P.C. seeking to quash the proceedings.
3. I heard the learned counsel for the petitioners, the learned Crl.M.C.No. 3035 OF 2021
Senior Public Prosecutor, and also the learned counsel for the
party respondents.
4. The learned Senior Public Prosecutor and counsel for the
party respondents have confirmed the settlement reached among
the parties. Moreover Annexure-A2 and A3 affidavits of
respondents 2 and 3 respectively also indicate that the matter
stands settled and they have no further grievance against the
petitioners.
5. It does not seem that respondents 2 and 3 had suffered
serious injuries in the occurrence. It was a clash between two
groups of students in the college premises in connection with the
union election. Now the matter is eminently settled and in the
circumstances entire proceedings in C.C. No. 248 of 2020
pending before the Judicial First Class Magistrate's Court,
Payyannur are quashed and the petitioners shall stand exonerated.
The Criminal Miscellaneous Case is allowed as above.
