     THIS CRIMINAL MISC. CASE HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON
22.12.2022, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING:
 Crl.M.C.No.4148 of 2022
                                          ..3..



                                   ORDER

Dated this the 22nd day of December, 2022

I have heard Sri.Mathew James, the learned counsel for the

petitioners, Sri.Ramesh.P, the learned counsel for the

respondents and Sri.P.G.Manu, the learned Senior Public

Prosecutor.

2. This Crl.M.C has been filed challenging the

proceedings initiated under section 27(2) of the Protection of

Women from Domestic Violence Act (for short, 'the DV Act')

before the Chief Judicial Magistrate Court, Alappuzha (for short,

'the court below').

3. The petitioners herein are the respondents in MC

No.67/2016. The 2nd and 3rd respondent herein are the petitioners

in MC No.67/2016. The MC No.67/2016 was allowed directing

the petitioners herein to pay a monthly maintenance of

Rs.5,000/- each to the respondents 2 and 3. Thereafter, the

respondents 2 and 3 herein filed CMP No.38/2019 before the

court below to enforce the said order.

4. The respondents have approached this court

challenging CMP No.38/2019 on the ground that the entire Crl.M.C.No.4148 of 2022 ..4..

dispute between the parties have been settled as per an

agreement executed between them. The said agreement has

been produced as Annexure A5. I went through the recitals in the

agreement. There is nothing to show that there is a settlement

with regard to the payment of maintenance. Hence, the court

below can very well proceed with CMP No.38/2019. The

petitioners are free to take up all the contentions including the

contention that the dispute has been settled between the parties

in CMP No.38/2019.

With these observations, Crl.M.C is dismissed.
