SUNIL THOMAS, J

Crl.M.C.No. 3136 of 2018
———————————-
Dated this the 6th day of June, 2018

ORDER

The first respondent is the wife of the first

petitioner. They got married on 30.11.2008. The

petitioners are arrayed as accused Nos.1 to 3, in

Crime No.312/2013 of Cherpu Police Station on an

allegation that they subjected the first respondent to

matrimonial cruelty. After investigation, final report

was laid alleging offences punishable under sections

498A and 34 of the Indian Penal Code and the matter

is now pending as CC.No.1719/2013 on the files of the

Judicial First Class Magistrate Court-I, Thrissur. All

the accused are now called upon to face the trial. In

the meanwhile, the Crl.M.C is laid on a premise that

the parties discussed their dispute and got it resolved

among themselves. An affidavit in support of the

settlement is filed by the petitioners herein as

Annexure-A3. The learned counsel for the first

respondent acknowledged that the above affidavit
Crl.M.C.No. 3136 of 2018
2

was duly executed by her acknowledging the

settlement. It was also clarified that she has no

objection in quashing the criminal proceedings. Both

sides submitted that the parties have resumed their

matrimonial relationship and are living together. The

learned Public Prosecutor endorsed this pursuant to the

instructions given by the police to the effect that the

defacto complainant has given a statement

acknowledging the settlement.

3. Evidently, facts disclose a valid settlement of

matrimonial dispute. It is clear that no purpose will be

served by prosecuting the petitioners herein especially

in the light of the settlement. The legal position is that

the matrimonial proceedings shall be terminated

prematurely if both parties have resolved it. Hence, I

am inclined to invoke the jurisdiction under section 482

Cr.P.C to quash the criminal proceedings.

Crl.M.C is accordingly allowed. All further

proceedings in CC.No.1719/2013 on the files of the

Judicial First Class Magistrate Court, Thrissur, arising
Crl.M.C.No. 3136 of 2018
3

from Crime No.312/2013 of Cherpu Police Station as

against the petitioners herein will stand quashed.
