JOSEPH, J. ---------------------------------------------- Crl. M.C No. 1910 OF 2011 ----------------------------------------------- DATED THIS THE 1st DAY OF JULY, 2011 O R D E R Petitioner is the 1st accused in Crime No.291 of 2000 of Parassala Police Station and CC No.306 of 2007 of Judicial First Class Magistrate Court-II, Neyyattinkara for offences punishable under Section 294 (b), 323, 324 and 506 (ii) read with Section 34 of the IPC. Case is that petitioner and the 2nd accused voluntarily caused hurt to the 1st respondent hitting with a stone. 2nd accused faced trial in CC No.643 of 2000, was found guilty, convicted and released on probation under Section 4 (1) of the Probation of the Offenders Act with a direction to pay compensation of Rs.1,000/-. Since petitioner was not available for trial at that time, case against him was re-filed as CC No.306 of 2007. Now parties have settled the dispute, and that 1st respondent has filed Annexure-IV affidavit attested by a Notary public. It is stated that petitioner and 1st respondent are working abroad together and in the circumstances, 1st respondent is not desirous of prosecuting the case further. Crl. M.C No.1910/2011 -2- 2. I have heard learned Counsel for Petitioner/1st accused, 1st respondent and learned Public Prosecutor. Counsel on both sides confirmed the settlement. Learned counsel for the 1st respondent has also confirmed the genuineness and authenticity of Annexure-IV affidavit. 3. Since the 1st respondent, injured has settled the dispute with petitioner with whom he is working abroad, the dispute is personal to and between them and that dispute is settled, I am inclined to interfere. Resultantly this Crl. M.C is allowed. Proceedings against petitioner/accused No.1 in CC No.306 of 2007 of Judicial 1st Class Magistrate Court-II, Neyyattinkara are quashed. Sd/- THOMAS P.
