BY ADV. SMT.A.P.RUFAIJA OTHER PRESENT: PP ADV. RAMESH CHAND THIS CRIMINAL MISC. CASE HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 30.07.2019, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING:
ORDER
This Crl.M.C is filed seeking to quash all further proceedings in S.C.No.479 of 2015 on the file of the Additional Sessions Court-IV, Kozhikode. Petitioners are alleged to have committed the offences punishable under Sections 3 and 5 of the Explosive Substances Act and Section 153 of IPC.
2. Petitioners seek to quash the proceedings based on the fact that the issue between the petitioners and the de facto complainant; who is
arrayed as the first respondent herein, has been settled, as evidenced by Annexures A2 and A3 affidavits. Being a case where offences under the Explosive Substances Act are alleged, I am not
inclined to quash the proceedings at this stage.
3. The learned counsel for the petitioners,
then, submits that due to the pendency of this Crl.M.C, which was filed way back in 2016, the case before the trial court is not being proceeded with. In view of the said submission, the Crl.M.C is dismissed, since on dismissal of this Crl.M.C, there may not be any impediment for the trial court to proceed with the trial of S.C.No.479 of 2015 expeditiously, also taking into consideration the age of the accused, as well as the alleged settlement.
