No.1839 of 2011 -------------------------------------- Dated this the 20th day of June, 2011. ORDER Petitioners are accused 1 to 3 in Crime No.965 of 2011 of Cheranellur Police Station for offence punishable under Section 498A read with Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code. That case was registered on a complaint preferred by the second respondent, wife of first petitioner. Petitioners request to quash proceeding against them on the strength of a settlement reached with the second respondent. I have heard learned counsel for petitioners, second respondent and the learned Public Prosecutor. 2. Learned counsel on both sides confirmed the settlement. Learned counsel for second respondent has confirmed genuineness and authenticity of Annexure-A2, affidavit sworn by second respondent where it is stated that she has settled the dispute with petitioners. Since the dispute is personal to and between first petitioner and second respondent and that the same is settled between parties it is not necessary to proceed with the case further. Hence I am inclined to allow the request. Resultantly this Criminal Miscellaneous Case is allowed. Proceedings against petitioners in Crime No.965 of 2011 of Cheranellur Police Station are quashed. THOMAS P.JOSEPH, Judge. cks
