The petitioner is the accused in Crime No. 330 of 2019 of Irinjalakuda Police Station registered for the offences punishable under Sections 341, 323, 324 and 506(i) of Indian Penal Code now pending as C.C. No. 987 of 2019 on the file of the Judicial First Class Magistrate, Irinjalakuda.
Heard both sides and perused the records.
The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the case has been instituted by the defacto complainant on some misunderstanding and now the parties have resolved their entire dispute among themselves and as such there is no subsisting dispute between them. Therefore, this petition to quash the final report.
Learned counsel appearing for the 3rd respondent has submitted that she has absolutely no grievance or complaints against the petitioner. Annexure 3 is the affidavit sworn to by her in support of the submission of the petitioner. The affidavit further indicates that she has no intention to pursue the matter further.
The learned Public Prosecutor has reported that the prosecution has no serious objection in allowing the petition. It is also submitted that as the dispute has been amicably settled, the possibility of conviction is remote and bleak and therefore, no useful purpose would be served in proceeding with the case.
On hearing the submissions of all concerned and on perusal of the records as well on consideration of the special facts and circumstances involved in this case, I find that no fruitful purpose is likely to be served by proceeding with the matter against the petitioner. Moreover, no public interest is involved in the case and there is no legal impediment in granting the prayer as sought for by the petitioner. Therefore, for the purpose of securing the ends of justice, this Crl.M.C. is only to be allowed.
For the foregoing reasons, Annexure 2 final report in Crime No. 330 of 2019 of Irinjalakuda Police Station now pending as C.C. No. 987 of 2019 on the file of the Judicial First Class Magistrate, Irinjalakuda will stand quashed as prayed for.
