ALEXANDER THOMAS, J.

Crl.M.C.No. 7360 of 2019

Dated this the 25th day of October, 2019
ORDER

The petitioners herein are the accused in the impugned Anx.I

final report/charge sheet filed in FIR in Crime No.249/2016 of

Chombala Police Station, registered for offences punishable under

Secs.498A, 406, 323 read with Sec. 34 of the SectionI.P.C., which has led to

the institution of Calendar Case, C.C.No.468/2019 on the file of the

Judicial First Class Magistrate’s Court, Vadakara, on the basis of the

complaint of the 1st respondent defacto complainant. It is stated that

now the entire disputes between the petitioners and the 1 st

respondent defacto complainant have been settled amicably and that

the 1st respondent has sworn to Anx.III affidavit before this Court,

wherein it is stated that she has settled the entire disputes with the

petitioners and that she has no objection for quashment of the

impugned criminal proceedings pending against the petitioners. It is

in the light of these aspects that the petitioners have preferred the

instant Crl.M.C. with the prayer to quash the impugned criminal

proceedings against them.

2. In a catena of decisions, the Apex Court has held that, in
Crl.M.C.7360/19 – : 3 :-

appropriate cases involving even non-compoundable offences, the

High Court can quash prosecution by exercise of the powers under

Sec.482 of the SectionCr.P.C., if the parties have really settled the whole

dispute or if the continuance of the prosecution will not serve any

purpose. Here, this Court finds a real case of settlement between the

parties and it is also found that continuance of the prosecution in

such a situation will not serve any purpose other than wasting the

precious time of the court, when the case ultimately comes before the

court. On a perusal of the petition and on a close scrutiny of the

investigation materials on record and the affidavit of settlement and

taking into account the attendant facts and circumstances of this case,

this Court is of the considered opinion that the legal principles laid

down by the Apex Court in the cases as in SectionGian Singh v. State of

Punjab reported in 2013 (1) SCC (Cri) 160 (2012) 10 SCC 303 and

SectionNarinder Singh and others v. State of Punjab and anr.

reported in (2014) 6 SCC 466, more particularly paragraph 29

thereof, could be applied in this case to consider the prayer for

quashment.

3. Accordingly, it is ordered in the interest of justice that the

impugned Anx.I final report/charge sheet filed in FIR in Crime
Crl.M.C.7360/19 – : 4 :-

No.249/2016 of Chombala Police Station, which has led to the

institution of Calendar Case, C.C.No.468/2019 on the file of the

Judicial First Class Magistrate’s Court, Vadakara and all further

proceedings arising therefrom pending against the accused persons

will stand quashed.

The petitioners will produce certified copies of this order before

the investigating officer concerned and the competent court below

concerned. The office of the Advocate General will forward copy of

this order to the investigating officer concerned for information.

With these observations and directions, the above Criminal

Miscellaneous Case stands finally disposed of.
