Dated this the 25th day of November, 2019

ORDER

The petitioners herein are the accused Nos.1 2 in the

impugned Anx.A1 FIR in Crime No.1709/2014 of Parappanangadi

Police Station, Malappuram district, registered for offences

punishable under Secs.498A, 120B 34 of the SectionIPC, which has led

to the institution of Anx.A2 Final Report in C.C. No. 3129/2014 on

the file of the JFCM-I, Parappanangadi. It is stated that now the

entire disputes between the petitioners and the 2 nd respondent

defacto complainant have been settled amicably and that the 2 nd

respondent has sworn to Anx.A3 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.

Crl.M.C. No. 8293 / 2019

..3..

2. In a catena of decisions, the Apex Court has held that,

in 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
Crl.M.C. No. 8293 / 2019

..4..

this case to consider the prayer for quashment.

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

the impugned Anx.A1 FIR in Crime No.1709/2014 of

Parappanangadi Police Station, Malappuram district, which has led

to the institution of Anx.A2 Final Report in C.C. No. 3129/2014 on

the file of the JFCM-I, Parappanangadi, and all further proceedings

arising therefrom pending against the accused persons will stand

quashed.

4. The petitioners will produce certified copies of this

order before 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.
