Crl.M.C.No.888 of 2018

Dated this the 28th day of February, 2018
ORDER
The petitioners are the accused in Crime
No.2032/2017 of Panangad Police Station for offences
punishable under sections 498A, 323, 506(ii) and 34 of
the Indian Penal Code.
2. The first petitioner had married the second
respondent on 10.7.2016. Thereafter, the parties resided
in the matrimonial house. While so, it was alleged that
the husband and his relatives subjected the defacto
complainant to extreme matrimonial cruelty by physical
and mental torture. It is further alleged that on
2.12.2017, the first petitioner herein slapped the defacto
complainant and assaulted her. She laid a complaint
pursuant to which crime was registered and the
investigation has progressed.
3. The petitioners have now approached this court
contending that it was a purely matrimonial dispute, that
the parties have no further grievance against each other
Crl.M.C.No.888 of 2018
2
and that they have resolved all their disputes. Asserting
that the defacto complainant does not propose to pursue
the criminal proceedings, an affidavit has also been
produced by the petitioner herein. The learned counsel
for the petitioner and the learned counsel for the second
respondent relied on Annexure-A3 and submitted that it
was duly executed by the defacto complainant. The
learned counsel for the defacto complainant affirmed that
the defacto complainant has no intention to pursue the
matter further. The learned Public Prosecutor also
endorsed the settlement and submitted that the parties
have no further grievance.
4. After having heard both sides and after perusing
the affidavits, I am satisfied that the dispute is a purely
personal one arising from the matrimonial dispute.
Having considered this, I am inclined to invoke the
jurisdiction under section 482 Cr.P.C and to give
premature termination of the entire proceedings, to meet
the ends of justice.
Crl.M.C.No.888 of 2018
3
Accordingly, Crl.M.C is allowed and all further
proceedings in crime No.2032/2017 of Panangad Police
Station as against the petitioners herein will stand
quashed.
