CASE HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 07/02/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: THOMAS P. JOSEPH, J. -------------------------------------- Crl.M.C. No.367 of 2011 -------------------------------------- Dated this the 7th day of February, 2011. ORDER Petitioners are accused in Crime No.1241 of 2010 of Kasaragod Police Station for offence punishable under Section 498A read with Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code. It is alleged that petitioners subjected respondent No.1 to cruelty demanding more ornaments and money. Petitioners seek to quash proceedings against them on the strength of a compromise reached between them and respondent No.1, the defacto complainant. 2. I have heard learned counsel and the learned Public Prosecutor. 3. Annexure-A1 is the FIR and Annexure-A2 is the joint petition signed by petitioners, respondent No.1 and their counsel. It is seen from Annexure-A2 that the parties have settled the dispute. The dispute is purely personal to and between the parties hereto. In view of settlement between the parties it is not necessary to proceed with the prosecution as there is also no chance of a successful culmination of the prosecution, I am inclined to allow this petition. Crl.MC No.367/2011 2 Resultantly this petition is allowed. Annexure-A1, FIR in Crime No.1241 of 2010 of Kasaragod Police Station and proceedings thereon against petitioners are quashed.
