THOMAS P.JOSEPH, J. ==================================== Crl. M.C. No.111 of 2011 ==================================== Dated this the 13th day of January, 2011 O R D E R Accused Nos.1 to 3 in C.C. No.304 of 2010 of the court of learned Judicial First Class Magistrate-I, Thamarassery are the petitioners. They are charged for offences punishable under Sections 498A and 406 read with Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code. Respondent No.1 is the de facto complainant. Accused Nos.2 and 3 are the parents of petitioner No.1-husband of de facto complainant. Now the matter is settled between parties and a joint petition is filed. In the joint petition it is stated that the case is settled between parties and that respondent No.1 has no objection in compounding the offences and quashing the proceedings against petitioners. 2. Dispute between the petitioners and respondent No.1 is purely personal and that has been settled amicably. In that circumstance there is no point in continuing the proceeding and trail of the case. Moreover, to maintain cordial relationship between parties quashing of proceedings is necessary. Hence I am inclined to allow this petition. CRL.M.C. No.111 of 2011 -: 2 :- Resultantly, Criminal Miscellaneous Case is allowed. Proceedings against petitioners in C.C. No.304 of the court of learned Judicial First Class Magistrate-I, Thamarassery pursuant to the final report in Crime No.66 of 2010 of Thamarassery police station are quashed. THOMAS P. JOSEPH, JUDGE. vsv
