O R D E R

The petitioners are the accused in Crime

No.241/2017 of Atholi police station now pending

as CC.No.558/2017 on the files of the Judicial

First Class Magistrate Court-II, Perambra, for

offences punishable under sections 406, 498A read

with section 34 of the Indian Penal Code.

2. The allegation of the first respondent

was that after her marriage with the first

petitioner on 30.5.2010, while living as husband

and wife, she was subjected to matrimonial

cruelty by the petitioners, who are the husband,

his parents and the relatives. Complaint was

laid, crime was registered and after

investigation, final report was laid. The

petitioners are facing trial in the above case.

3. Claiming that the first respondent has

settled the dispute with the petitioners the

Crl.M.C is laid. Evidencing the settlement

Annexure-2 affidavit has been affirmed by the
Crl.MC.No. 6664 of 2018
3

first respondent. Annexure-2 shows that the

parties have resolved their dispute and they have

no surviving grievance. The learned counsel for

the first respondent acknowledged the due

execution of the affidavit and submitted that she

has no objection in quashing the proceedings.

The learned Public Prosecutor also submitted that

the parties have settled their dispute and have

legally separated. Considering the settlement

arrived at in the matrimonial dispute, I am

inclined to invoke the jurisdiction under section

482 Cr.P.C and to quash the entire criminal

proceedings.

Accordingly, Crl.M.C is allowed. All further

proceedings in CC.No.558/2017 on the files of the

Judicial First Class Magistrate Court-II,

Perambra, arising from Crime No.241/2017 of

Atholi police station as against the petitioners

herein stand quashed.
