THOMAS P.JOSEPH, J. ==================================== Crl. M.C. No.934 of 2011 ==================================== Dated this the 23rd day of March, 2011 O R D E R Petitioner is accused in Crime No.346 of 2009 of Neeleswaram police station and C.C. No.87 of 2010 of the court of learned Judicial First Class Magistrate, Hosdurg. That case was registered on a complaint preferred by the second respondent. Parties have now settled the dispute and accordingly it is requested that proceeding against petitioner may be quashed. I have heard learned counsel for petitioner, second respondent and the learned Public Prosecutor. Learned counsel for the second respondent confirmed the settlement and authenticity of signature of second respondent in the joint petition for settlement. 2. It is seen from the joint petition that parties and their counsel have signed that petition. Joint petition states that the matter is settled. Since the case arise out of matrimonial dispute and that is settled between the parties I am inclined to think that continuance of proceeding against petitioner is not necessary. Resultantly, Criminal Miscellaneous Case is allowed. Final CRL.M.C. No. 934 of 2011 -: 2 :- report in Crime No.346 of 2009 of Neeleswaran police station, cognizance taken thereon and all proceeding in C.C.
