Petitioners are accused Nos. 1 and 2 in Crime No. 1618/2013 of Vatakara Police Station who are alleged to have committed offences punishable under Sections 341, 323, 324 read with Section 34 of IPC.
2. After investigation, final report was laid and cognizance of the offence was taken as C.C.No. 581/2014 by the Judicial First Class Magistrate Court, Vatakara.
3. Petitioners now point out that petitioners and the defacto complainant have amicably settled all the disputes between them and no further grievance for the defacto complainant remains to be redressed. In support of their submission, they rely on the affidavits said to have been filed by the defacto complainant and the injured which are produced and marked as Annexures II and III.
Crl.M.C. No. 7420 of 2014 -2-
4. The learned counsel appearing for the defacto complainant and also the injured who are arrayed as respondents 1 and 2 have accepted the affidavit and admit that an affidavit has been filed by them and have accepted the statements made mention of therein.
5. In the light of the fact that no social or public issues as such are involved in the matter and it is purely a personal matter between the parties and also that the defacto complainant and the injured do not wish to prosecute the matter further, it is felt that continuance of proceedings will be only an exercise in futility.
In the result, this petition is allowed and all further proceedings in C.C.No. 581/2014 on the file of Judicial First Class Magistrate Court, Vatakara including the registration of Crime No. 1618/2013 of Vatakara Police station shall stand quashed.
