CASE HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 26.02.2021, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING:
ORDER
Dated this the 26th day of February 2021 Petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure.
2. The petitioner is the sole accused in Crime No.2462 of 2020 of Kadakkal Police Station registered for the offences punishable under Sections 324 and 498A of Indian Penal Code.
3. It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that, at the instance of the defacto complainant, on some misunderstanding and difference of opinion with the petitioner, the FIR was registered against him and now the parties have resolved the entire disputes among themselves and as such there is
no subsisting dispute between them. Now they are
living together as husband and wife. Therefore, this
petition to quash Annexure 1 FIR.
4. Learned counsel appearing for the 2nd
respondent/defacto complainant has submitted that she
has absolutely no grievance or complaints against the
petitioner. Annexure 2 is the affidavit sworn to byher in support of the submission of the petitioner. The affidavit further indicates that she has no intention
to pursue the matter further.
5. The learned Public Prosecutor has reported
that the prosecution has no serious objection in
allowing the petition. It is also submitted that as
the dispute has been amicably settled, the possibility
of conviction is remote and bleak and therefore, nouseful purpose would be served in proceeding with the case.
6. Heard both sides and perused the records.
7. On hearing the submissions of all concerned, as well on consideration of the special
facts and circumstances involved in this case, I find
that no fruitful purpose is likely to be served by proceeding with the matter against the petitioner. Moreover, no public interest is involved in the case and there is no legal impediment in granting the prayer as sought for by the petitioner. Therefore, for the purpose of securing the ends of justice, this Crl.M.C. is only to be allowed. For the foregoing reasons, Annexure 1 FIR and all further proceedings in Crime No.2462 of 2020 of Kadakkal Police Station will stand quashed as prayed for. Sd/- SHIRCY V.
