THIS CRIMINAL MISC. CASE HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION
ON 07.07.2022, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE
FOLLOWING:
Crl.M.C.No.2271/2020
:2 :
ORDER
Dated this the 7th day of July, 2022
This Crl.M.C. is filed by accused No.1 in C.C. No.40/2021
pending before the Judicial First Class Magistrate's Court-I,
Palakkad. The aforesaid case arises from crime No.85/2006 of
Walayar Police Station, which was registered for the offences
punishable under Sections 420 and 467 of the Indian Penal Code.
Annexure-1 is the final report submitted by the Police. This
Crl.M.C. is filed for quashing all further proceedings pursuant to
Annexure-1 final report.
2. Heard Sri. Sujeth P.S., the learned counsel appearing
for the petitioner, Sri. C.S. Hrithwik, the learned Public Prosecutor
for the State and Sri. S. Sudheesh Kumar, the learned counsel
appearing for the 2nd respondent/defacto complainant.
3. When the Crl.M.C. came up for consideration, the
learned counsel for the 2nd respondent points out that, this
Crl.M.C. was filed at a stage when the case was posted for final Crl.M.C.No.2271/2020
hearing. Annexure R2(c) proceedings of the Court was also
relied on. A perusal of the same would indicate that, the
prosecution evidence is already completed and the accused were
examined under Section 313 Cr.P.C. on 04.12.2019.
Subsequently, on several days, the matter was posted for
defence evidence and the accused were seeking adjournments
for defence evidence. On 19.02.2020, it was reported that they
are not intending to adduce any defence evidence. Accordingly,
the matter was posted of hearing on 04.03.2020. Later, this
Crl.M.C. was submitted by the petitioner seeking for quashing the
proceedings and the same is now pending consideration.
4. Even though, various contentions have been taken by
the petitioner, I am of the view that since the trial of the case is on
its last stages, it is not necessary for this Court to go into the
aforesaid aspects. All the contentions which the petitioner raised
can be taken before the trial court and the same can be
considered by the trial court on the basis of the evidence
adduced. It is not necessary for this Court to appreciate the
evidence in this stage and take a decision. Crl.M.C.No.2271/2020
In such circumstances, I do not find any merit in this
Crl.M.C. and accordingly, it is dismissed without prejudice to the
contentions and rights of the petitioner.
