Crl. M.C. NO. 3642 OF 2021

ORDER
This is an application filed under Section 482 of the
Cr.P.C. Petitioners are the accused in Crime No. 1172 of 2013 of
Chengamand Police Station, which was registered alleging
offence punishable under Sections 406, 420, 463, 464, 465, 471
read with Section 34 of the IPC.
2. It is alleged that, on 29.11.2013, petitioners with the
intention of cheating and obtain unlawful gain, created document
in favour of the 2nd respondent, on the mis representation that the
subject property belonged to the accused persons. Thus Annexure
A2 complaint was preferred before Court on the basis of which
the crime was registered alleging very same offence. Thereafter
on conclusion of investigation charge sheet has been laid before
the Judicial First Class Magistrate, Court I, Aluva, where the case
has been taken on file as C.C.No. 1235 of 2015.
3. Now the petitioners contend that, the matter has been
settled with the 2nd respondent, the defacto complainant. In
support of the said contention, Annexure A4 affidavit of the
defacto complainant has also been produced. Crl. M.C. NO. 3642 OF 2021
4. I heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and also the
learned Senior Public Prosecutor.
5. On the very face of the allegations, it is a private dispute
between the petitioners on the one hand and the 2nd respondent on
the other. That dispute has been settled out of Court and now
even the defacto complainant does not want to pursue the
proceedings. He has stated that the matter has been settled and he
does not intend to proceed against the applications.
6. It is certain that it was a private dispute. No public
interest is involved in the matter. So long as the 2 nd respondent
has informed that he has settled the matter with the accused
persons, there is no purpose in proceeding further. In the
circumstances, in exercise of jurisdiction under Section Section
482 of the Cr.P.C, further proceedings can be quashed.
7. The petition is allowed. All proceedings pursuant to
Crime No.1172 of 2013 of Chengamand police station are here
by quashed.
Criminal Miscellaneous Case is allowed as above.
