BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR, HIGH COURT OF KERALA,ERNAKULAM. SRI.S.SANTHOSH KUMAR (BALARAMAPURAM) FOR R1 PUBLIC PROSECUTOR MR.C.M.NAZER THIS CRIMINAL MISC. CASE HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 03/06/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: V.RAMKUMAR, J. ------------------------------------- Crl.M.C. No.441 of 2010 -------------------------------------- Dated this the 3rd day of June, 2010 ORDER In this petition filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C, the petitioner, who is the third accused in Crime No.203/1996 of the Palakkad Town North Police Station, registered for offences punishable under Sections 403, 406, 416, 420 read with 120B IPC and now pending as L.P.No.312/2004 before the Chief Judicial Magistrate Court, Palakkad, seeks to quash all further proceedings in the matter on the allegation that the case arising out of a monitory dispute has been settled between the de facto complainant and the petitioner as evidenced by the joint petition dated 11.1.2010. The learned counsel appearing for the de facto complainant also admitted that there has been a settlement of the money dispute and that the complainant has no further grievance in the matter. Since the dispute relates to a money dispute, which is purely personal between the parties, I am inclined to apply the ratio in Madan Mohan Abbot v. State of Punjab 2003 (3) KLT 19 (SC). Accordingly L.P.No.312/2004, pending against the petitioner before the Chief Judicial Magistrate Court, Palakkad Crl.M.C. No.441 of 2010 : 2 : shall stand quashed and the petitioner shall not be proceeded in connection with Crime No.213/1996 of Palakkad Town North Police Station. This Criminal M.C is allowed as above.
