The petitioner is the 2nd accused in Crime No. 818/2018 of
Kalamassery Police Station in C.C. No. 326/2019 pending on the file
of Judicial First Class Magistrate Court, Kalamasserry.
2. It is alleged that on 03.05.2018 at about 1.30 p.m., the 1 st
accused restrained the defacto complainant with an intention to
outrage her modesty and also pushed her down hurled abuses on her
and the 2nd accused intimidated her on the road infront of Highway

accused alleged to have committed the offence punishable under
Sections 341, 354, 294(b), 506(1) of IPC.

complainant. The entire issues between the petitioner/2nd accused and
the defacto complainant has been amicably settled. Annexure A is the
certified copy of the final report and Annexure B is the affidavit sworn

4. The learned Public Prosecutor produced report of the the
Sub Inspector of Police, Kalamassery Police Station along with the copy
of the statement of the defacto complainant. The statement given to the Crl.M.C. NO. 3484 OF 2021
Station House Officer by the defacto complainant would reveal that the
entire issues between the petitioner and the defacto complainant have
been amicably settled out of court and there are no grievance subsisting
against the petitioner.
5. The issues between the petitioner/2nd accused and the
defacto complainant are purely private in nature and no public interest is
involved. Since the entire issues between the petitioner/2nd accused and
defacto complainant have duly settled out of court, the continuation of
proceedings against the petitioner/2nd accused will be an abuse of
process of court. In the circumstances, Crime No. 818/2018 of
Kalamasserry Police Station in Ernakulam District now pending as C.C.
No. 326/2019 on the file of Judicial First Class Magistrate Court,
