Crl.M.C.No.586 of 2018

Dated this the 16th day of February, 2018

ORDER

Petitioners are accused in C.C.No.227 of 2017 of Chief

Judicial Magistrate Court, Manjeri arising from Crime No.285 of

2015 of the Manjeri Police Station for offences punishable under

sections 498A, 406 r/w 34 of the Indian Penal Code.

2. The defacto complainant was married by the first

petitioner herein on 31.08.2014. Thereafter, demanding more

ornaments, the husband and his mother harassed her mentally and

physically. Arraying them as accused, complaint was laid and

investigation was conducted. Final report was laid against them

and cognizance was taken by the court below.

3. Petitioners have approached this Court stating that, they

have settled the dispute with the defacto complainant out of Court

and the defacto complainant has no grievance surviving against

them. It was contended that, hence, prosecution, if continued, will

only be a sheer waste of time. Learned counsel for the petitioners

and the learned counsel for the second respondent/defacto

complainant relied on Annexure-C affidavit affirmed by the defacto

complainant. She has expressed that, she does not intend to

prosecute the matter any further and that, she has no objection in
Crl.M.C.586/18
2

quashing the proceedings.

4. Having considered the submission made by the learned

counsel for the petitioners and the learned counsel for the second

respondent that, they have no objection in quashing the proceedings

and the submission of the learned Public Prosecutor that the matter

has been settled and reported to the investigating agency, I am

inclined to invoke the jurisdiction under section 482 Cr.P.C to quash

the criminal proceedings.

In the result, Crl.M.C is allowed. All further proceedings

in C.C.No.227 of 2017 of Chief Judicial Magistrate Court, Manjeri

arising from Crime No.285 of 2015 of the Manjeri Police Station will

stand quashed.
