No.1014 of 2011 ==================================== Dated this the 30th day of March, 2011 O R D E R Petitioners are accused 1 to 3 in Crime No.3849 of 2010 of the Ernakulam Central Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 498A, 497, 321, 322, 323, 324 and 326 read with Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code. That case was registered on a complaint preferred by the first respondent. Petitioners say that they have settled the matter with the first respondent and accordingly request to quash the proceeding. I have heard learned counsel for petitioners, first respondent and learned Public Prosecutor. 2. Learned counsel for petitioners and first respondent confirmed the settlement. Learned counsel for petitioners and first respondent also confirmed authenticity of signatures of the respective parties in the agreement executed between them, a photocopy of which is Annexure-A2. Since the settlement is confirmed by counsel on both sides and the case involves essentially a family dispute I am inclined to allow the petition. Resultantly, Criminal Miscellaneous Case is allowed. The FIR CRL.M.C. No.1014 of 2011 -: 2 :- in Crime No.3849 of 2010 of Central Police Station, Ernakulam against petitioners/accused 1 to 3 is quashed. THOMAS P. JOSEPH, JUDGE. vsv
