Petitioners are the accused Nos.1 to 4 in Crime No.1804 of 2013 of Kollengode Police Station registered under Section 498A read with Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code.
2. Brief case is that the petitioners are the husband and in-laws of the de facto complainant (first respondent). It is the allegation in Annexure A (F.I.R.) that all the accused persons started harassing the de facto complainant by demanding more money and gold ornaments immediately after marriage.
3. The learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that the matter has been settled between the parties. An affidavit Crl.M.C. No.2492 of 2014 :2:
sworn by the de facto complainant, which is marked as Annexure B, is also produced. The learned counsel appearing for the de facto complainant submitted that the de facto complainant has no objection in allowing the petition and quashing the F.I.R. Considering the nature of the allegations and the relationship between the parties, I find that there is no purpose in prolonging the prosecution proceedings.
In the result, this petition is allowed. Anexure A/F.I.R. Registered by the Kollengode Police in Crime No.1804 of 2013 is hereby quashed.
