CASE HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 26/05/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: Kss THOMAS P. JOSEPH, J. -------------------------------------- Crl.M.C. No.1522 of 2011 -------------------------------------- Dated this the 26th day of May, 2011. ORDER Public Prosecutor takes notice for respondents 2 and 3. 2. CWs 1 to 4 in Crime No.532 of 2008 of Kasaragod Police Station and C.C.No.26 of 2011 of the court of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Kasaragod are the petitioners before me, requesting to quash proceeding against the first respondent/first accused who is facing trial for offences punishable under Sections 452, 323, 354 and 294(b) read with Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code. It is contended that the case against the second accused who faced trial in C.C.No.128 of 2009 ended in acquittal as per Annexure-I, judgment since witnesses did not support the prosecution case. I have heard learned counsel for petitioners, first respondent and the learned Public Prosecutor. 3. Since first respondent was not available case against him was refiled as C.C.No.26 of 2011. Petitioners/CWs 1 to 4 say that they have settled the case with the first respondent. First petitioner has sworn an affidavit which is attested by learned counsel for petitioners where it is stated that the dispute is settled between them and first respondent and that they have no further grievance against the first respondent. Crl.MC No.1522/2011 2 4. Since the dispute is purely personal to and between petitioners and first respondent and that the dispute is settled, I am inclined to allow the request. Resultantly Criminal Miscellaneous Case is allowed. Final report in Crime No.532 of 2008 of Kasaragod Police Station to the extent it concerned first respondent/first accused, cognizance taken thereon and proceeding against first respondent/first accused in C.C.No.26 of 2011 of the court of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Kasaragod are quashed.
