THANKAPPAN, J. ------------------------------------------ CRL.A.NO.1376 OF 2004 ------------------------------------------ Dated this the 4th day of July, 2007. JUDGMENT This is an application filed by the appellant stating that though the appeal is filed against the acquittal, the matter has been settled out of court and hence the appellant does not want to proceed with the matter. After having considered the stand taken by the appellant and after considering the judgment under challenge on merits, this Court is of the view that the judgment of the trial court requires no interference. Accordingly, the appeal stands dismissed as merit less confirming the order of the trial court. K. THANKAPPAN, JUDGE. cl CRL.A.NO. 2
