Taking into consideration the dictum laid down in various decisions of the Apex Court it has to be stated that there is no point in permitting the prosecution to continue when the matter has already been settled and they are not offences which affect the society at large but are of a personal nature and it has been talked over and settled by the parties. Therefore taking into consideration these Crl.M.C. 1047 OF 2009 -:2:- aspects I invoke S.482 Cr.P.C. and quash all further proceedings in C.C.301/03 of Judicial First Class Magistrate- V, Kozhikode.
