Dated this the 29th day of August, 2019

O R D E R

Petitioners seek to quash Annexure-A1 final
report in C.C. No.621 of 2018 before the Judicial

First Class Magistrate Court-II, Attingal taken on

file under Section 498A read with Section 34 IPC,

alleging that the matter was settled between them

and the de facto complaint and no purpose would be

served, if the proceedings are carried in the court

below.

2. Petitioners are son and mother. The 1st

petitioner, who is the 1st accused in the court

below married the 1st respondent, the de facto

complainant. The allegation raised by the

1st respondent is that, while she was residing with

the 1st petitioner, his mother the 2 nd petitioner

used to harass her joining each other, demanding

dowry and harassing her in many other ways also.

3. Both the petitioners now submit that the

matrimonial disputes with the 1st respondent were
Crl.M.C.No.4665 of 2019

-: 3 :-

settled and the spouses filed a joint petition for

dissolution of marriage as O.P.1458 of 2019 under

Section 10A of the Divorce Act,1869 and the same

is pending before the Family Court,

Thiruvananthapuram. In support of the submission

that the matter was settled between parties, the 1 st

respondent submitted an affidavit of her before

this Court, sworn as on 21.06.2019. The affidavit

is Annexure-A4. The joint petition filed before

the Family Court, Thiruvananthapuram for

dissolution of marriage by mutual consent is

Annexure-A3.

4. I heard the learned Public Prosecutor, the

learned counsel for the petitioners and also the

learned counsel for the 1st respondent.

5. From the affidavit sworn before this

court, I am satisfied that the parties amicably

settled the matrimonial issues pending between them

and what remains to be secured is a decree for

dissolution by mutual consent. Despite Section 498A

IPC not being a compoundable offence under law

also, nothing precludes a court exercising
Crl.M.C.No.4665 of 2019

-: 4 :-

jurisdiction under Section 482 of the Cr.P.C. to

quash the present criminal proceeding against

petitioners on the premise of amicable settlement

of matrimonial disputes arrived between the

parties. I am satisfied that the continuance of

the criminal proceeding will only lead to denial of

justice to parties, since there is no likelihood of

the prosecution of offence under Section 498A read

with Section 34 IPC ending in conviction.

Therefore, there is sufficient justification in

allowing the proceedings in C.C. No.621 of 2018

before the Judicial First Class Magistrate Court-

II, Attingal against the petitioners to be quashed.

In the result, criminal proceedings in C.C.

No.621 of 2018 before the Judicial First Class

Magistrate Court-II, Attingal are quashed and this

Crl.M.C. is allowed accordingly.
