O R D E R Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners, the learned counsel for the 2nd respondent/de facto complainant and the learned Public Prosecutor. 2. The petitioners are accused Nos. 1 to 3 in Crime No. 287 of 2007 of Munambam Police Station for an offence punishable under Section 498-A I.P.C and now pending as C.C. No. 473 of 2008 before the Judicial First Class Magistrate, North Paravur. It is stated that the matter has been settled between the parties and the 2nd respondent has no further grievance against the accused. In view of the authoritative pronouncement of the Apex Court in Joshy v. State of Haryana - 2003(2) KLT 1062 and in view of the fact that the matter has been settled between the parties, the complaint is to be quashed. In that view of the matter, since the parties have settled the matter, I direct that C.C. No. 473 of 2008 pending before the Judicial First Class Magistrate, North Paravur be treated as closed. This Crl.M.C is disposed of as above. sd/- B.P. RAY, JUDGE. rv
