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.
