ORDER
This Crl.MC is filed to quash the proceedings based on
the settlement.
2. When this Crl.MC came up for consideration on
08.08.2023, this Court passed the following order:-
"Invoking section 482 of the Cr.P.C., this petition has been filed seeking to quash the criminal proceedings on the ground that the disputes between the parties have been amicably resolved.
Having regard to the submissions advanced, there will be a direction to the investigating officer concerned to record the statement of the defacto complainant/injured/victim and report as to whether the assertion in the petition and the affidavits filed in support that entire disputes have been resolved between the parties concerned is true and genuine. The investigating officer shall also report as to whether the petitioners are persons with criminal antecedents, the adverse social impact which may emanate, and also whether there is any other impediment in terminating the criminal proceedings.
Post on 11.09.2023."
CRL.MC NO.6346 OF 2023
3. Thereafter, when the matter came up for
consideration on 11.09.2023, this Court passed the following
order:-
"Respondents 3 to 5 will appear before the Investigating officer on 15/09/2023 and give a statement to the Investigating officer. Post on 18.09.2023."
4. Today, the learned Public Prosecutor submitted
that respondent Nos.3 to 5 have not appeared before the
investigating officer. If that is the case, this Crl.MC need not
be retained here. The petitioners are free to file fresh Crl.MC
once the matter is finally settled. The certified copy of the
affidavit produced shall be returned to the petitioners.
Granting liberty to the petitioners to file fresh Crl.MC,
this Crl.MC is closed.
