That case was registered on a complaint from the adoptive mother of second petitioner that second petitioner, then a minor who was adopted by her as per the orders of the District Court, Thalassery was abducted by the first petitioner with intend to exploit her sexually. Petitioners have approached this Court to quash proceeding against first petitioner contending that the dispute is settled and that after the second petitioner attained majority, they got married under provisions of the Special Marriage Act on 02.05.2011 and are now living as husband and wife. I have heard learned counsel for petitioners and learned Public Prosecutor. 2. Learned Public Prosecutor after getting instruction has submitted that the police contacted the adoptive mother of second petitioner who confirmed settlement and marriage of petitioners. 3. It is seen from Annexure-A2, photocopy of certificate of marriage issued under the provisions of the Special Marriage Crl.M.C.No.1593 of 2011 -: 2 :- Act that petitioners got married on May 02, 2011 before the Marriage Registrar, Paravoor. Since petitioners got married and are now living together as husband and wife I am inclined to think that continuing with the proceeding would only marr their future. Hence I am inclined to allow this petition. Resultantly this criminal miscellaneous case is allowed. Annexure-A1, FIR in Crime No.671 of 2007 of Thaliparamba Police Station and all proceeding taken pursuant to it against the first petitioner/accused are quashed.
