No.153 of 2006 on the file of the J.F.C.M, Tirur for offences punishable under Sections 143,147,148,448,323,324 and 427 read with 149 I.P.C. 2. This is a sequel to C.C.No.155 of 2006 involving an offence punishable under Section 498A IPC. 3. In the light of the subsequent settlement of the dispute between the marital parties, the petitioners have approached this Court by invoking the powers under Section 482 Cr.P.C. Having regard to the resolution of the disputes between the marital parties, continuance of the criminal prosecution against the petitioners is an avoidable irritant. Hence, the powers under Section 482 Cr.P.C. can be invoked by this Court to bring about premature termination of the prosecution. Accordingly, this Criminal Miscellaneous Case is allowed. C.C.No.153 of 2006 pending before the Judicial First Class Magistrate Court, Tirur shall stand quashed. V. RAMKUMAR, (JUDGE). sj
