ORDER
This Crl.M.C. has been filed seeking to quash the entire
proceedings against the petitioner in C.C.No.341/2018 on the file
of the Judicial First Class Magistrate Court, Muvattupuzha, which
arose out of crime No.2184/2017 of Muvattupuzha police station
registered for the offence punishable under Sections 451 and 354
of the Indian Penal Code. Petitioner is the sole accused in the
above crime.
2. Petitioner amicably settled the entire issues with
defacto complainant. Annexure A1 is the copy of the FIR.
Annexure A2 is the copy of the final report. Annexure A3 is the
affidavit duly sworn in by the defacto complainant.
3. Adv.Rajesh Chakyat appeared on behalf of the defacto
complainant and reports about the settlement arrived at between
the parties.
4. The learned Public Prosecutor produced copy of the
report of the SHO, Muvattupuzha police station along with signed
statement of the defacto complainant.
5 It has come out from the affidavit sworn in by the
defacto complainant as well as the statement given by the
defacto complainant to the SHO that the entire issues between CRL.M.C.NO.5181 OF 2021
the parties have been amicably settled out of court with the
intervention of the mediators and family members and she is not
intending to prosecute the matter further against the petitioner.
6. The entire issues between the parties are purely
private in nature. No public interest is involved. Since the parties
have amicably settled the matter out of court, continuance of the
proceedings against the petitioner would be an abuse of process
of court.
In the result, this Crl.M.C. stands allowed and all further
proceedings in C.C.No.341/2018 on the file of the Judicial First
Class Magistrate Court, Muvattupuzha, which arose out of crime
No.2184/2017 of Muvattupuzha police station, is hereby quashed.
