No. 3168 OF 2010 -------------------------------------- Dated this the 20th day of August, 2010 ORDER Petitioners, who are accused Nos.1 and 2 in Crime No.448/2005 of Kazhakuttom Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 420, 471, 467 and 468 read with 34 IPC, seek to quash the proceedings on the ground that the matter has been amicably settled between the de facto complainant and the petitioners as evidenced by the affidavit sworned by the complainant. Since the subject matter of the dispute is essentially a money dispute personally between the parties and also since the de facto complainant has deposed that it was out of a misunderstanding that he gave the First Information Statement, I see no reason why the prayer should not be granted. Accordingly, the FIR in the above crime shall stand quashed. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE dmb
