Crl.M.C.No. 3397 of 2013

………………………………………..

Dated this the 13th day of December, 2017

ORDER

The petitioners are the accused in C.C.No.35/2012 on the

file of the Chief Judicial Magistrate Court, Kottayam alleging

offence punishable under Sections 498A, 406, 420, 323, 506(i)

r/w Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code.

2. The 3rd petitioner had married the 2nd respondent de

facto complainant. Thereafter the matrimonial relationship got

strained leading to various matrimonial litigations including a

private complaint moved by the 2nd respondent alleging

matrimonial cruelty. The matter is now pending as

C.C.No.35/2017. Pending the proceedings against the order in

O.P.No.1364/2010, MAT appeal No.379/2015 was filed by two

of the petitioners herein. In the Matrimonial appeal, the parties

were relegated to the mediation centre and they entered into a

settlement dated 20.09.2017. It is stated that, pursuant to the

settlement, the matrimonial appeal was closed recording a

compromise filed by the parties in terms of the settlement.

The copy of the above settlement and the compromise filed by

the parties in the MAT appeal No.379/2015 were placed before

me at the time of hearing by both sides along with the order in

Crl.M.C.No. 3397 of 2013

2

MAT appeal No.379/2015. The judgment shows that settlement

was accepted and it was directed that the compromise will

form part of the judgment of this Court.

3. The learned counsel for the petitioners and the

learned counsel for the contesting respondents submitted that

the matter has been completely resolved and, accordingly,

divorce was granted by the Family Court, Kottayam.

4. In the light of the settlement reported by both sides

and the submission of the learned Public Prosecutor that the

settlement has been reported to the 1st respondent, I am

inclined to invoke the jurisdiction under Section 482 Cr.P.C. to

meet the ends of justice. Accordingly, Crl.M.C.is allowed and all

further proceedings in C.C.No.35/2012 of Chief Judicial

Magistrate Court, Kottayam shall stand quashed.
