ORDER
This Crl.M.C. has been filed seeking to quash the entire
further proceedings pending against the petitioners in
C.C.No.830/2017 on the file of the Judicial First Class Magistrate
Court-II, Kottarakara, which arose out of crime No.1237/2017 of
Puthoor Police Station, which has been registered for the offences
punishable under Sections 323, 324, 354, 341, 294(b), 506 and 34
IPC.
2. It is alleged that out of some previous enmity towards
the defacto complainant, the first accused who is presently no
more, with the intention and preparation to voluntarily cause hurt
to the defacto complainant and defame her on 18.06.2017 at
about 20 hours, abused the son of the defacto complainant and hit
the son with an iron rode and when he tried to escape the other
accused wrongfully restrained, assaulted him and when the defacto
complainant tried to intervene, the second accused threatened to
do away with her and thereby accused committed the offences
aforementioned.
CRL.MC NO.3830 OF 2021
3. The entire issues between the petitioners and the
defacto complainant have been amicably settled out of court.
Affidavit duly sworn in by the defacto complainant has been
produced on the side of the petitioners.
4. Adv. Biju C Abraham appeared on behalf of the defacto
complainant and reports about the settlement arrived at between
the parties. The first accused is no more.
5. The learned Public Prosecutor produced copy of the
report of the Inspector of Police along with copy of the signed
statement of the defacto complainant. In the affidavit sworn in by
the defacto complainant as well as in the copy of the statement
produced from the side of the respondent, she has categorically
stated about the settlement arrived at with the petitioners. She
has no objection in quashing the FIR and all further proceedings
against the petitioners in C.C.No.830/2017 on the file of the
Judicial First Class Magistrate Court-II, Kottarakkara.
6. It has come out that the entire issues between the
petitioners and the defacto complainant have been amicably
settled out of court. The entire issues between the parties are
purely private in nature. No public interest is involved. Hence, the CRL.MC NO.3830 OF 2021
continuation of proceedings against the petitioners in crime
No.1237/2017 of Puthoor police station, would be an abuse of
process of court. Hence, ends of justice demand quashment of the
proceedings pending against the petitioners in the above crime.
In the result, this Crl.M.C. stands allowed and all further
proceedings pending against the petitioners C.C.No.830/2017 on
the file of the Judicial First Class Magistrate Court-II, Kottarakkara
is hereby quashed.
