THIS CRIMINAL MISC. CASE HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON

Crl. M.C. No.5310/2023 -2-
ORDER
The petitioner is the accused in Crime No.148/2022 of Palarivattom Police
Station, Ernakulam District which is now pending as C.C.No.230/2022 before the
Judicial First Class Magistrate Court-IX, Ernakulam. The petitioner faces
prosecution under Section 498A of the Indian Penal Code.
2. When the matter is taken up for consideration today it is the
submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner that all issues between the
petitioner and the 2nd respondent (de facto complainant) have been settled. He also
produced an affidavit of 2nd respondent as Annexure-A4.
3. Heard the learned Public Prosecutor and learned counsel for the 2 nd
respondent also.
4. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case and
considering the fact that all issues between the petitioner and the 2 nd respondent
have been settled and also considering Annexure-A4 affidavit of 2 nd respondent, I
am of the view that this is fit case where, the jurisdiction of this Court under Section
482 of Cr.P.C. can be invoked and the proceedings against the petitioner can be
quashed on the ground of settlement. No public purpose would be served by
continuing with the proceedings against the petitioner. In the result, this Crl.M.C. is
allowed and all further proceedings against the petitioner, in C.C.No.230/2022
before the Judicial First Class Magistrate Court-IX, Ernakulam will stand quashed.
