Petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure.
The petitioners are accused Nos. 1 and 2 in Crime No. 964 of 2018 of Paripally Police Station registered for the offence punishable under Section 498A of Indian Penal Code, now pending as C.C. No. 35 of 2019 on the file of the Judicial First Class Magistrate Court(Temp), S. Paravoor.
Heard both sides and perused the records.
It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioners that the parties have resolved the entire dispute among themselves and there is no subsisting dispute between them. Therefore, this petition to quash the final report.
Learned counsel appearing for the 2nd respondent/defacto complainant has submitted that she has absolutely no grievance or complaint against the petitioners. Annexure D, the affidavit sworn to by her, 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.
As the dispute has been amicably settled, the possibility of conviction is remote and bleak.
Therefore, considering 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 petitioners. Moreover, no public interest is involved in the case and there is no legal impediment in granting the prayer as sought for by the petitioners. Therefore, for the purpose of securing the ends of justice, this Crl.M.C. is only to be allowed.
For the foregoing reasons, Annexure B final report in Crime No.964 of 2018 of Parippally Police Station now pending as C.C. No. 35 of 2019 on the file of the Judicial First Class Magistrate Court (Temp), S. Paravoor, will stand quashed as prayed for.
