ORDER Accused in Crime No.455 of 2009 of Perumbavoor Police Station and C.C.No.930 of 2009 of the court of learned Judicial First Class Magistrate, Perumbavoor is the petitioner before me seeking to quash proceeding against him for offence punishable under Section 498A of the Indian Penal Code. That case was registered on the complaint of respondent No.1, wife alleging that she was subjected to cruelty demanding more ornaments. Petitioner seeks to quash proceedings against him on the strength of a settlement reached with respondent No.1. 2. I have heard learned counsel for petitioner, respondent No.1 and the learned Public Prosecutor. 3. It is seen from the affidavit sworn by respondent No.1 who appeared through counsel that the dispute is settled with petitioner. Learned counsel for respondent No.1 has confirmed the fact of settlement. As per the settlement parties have decided to separate and the cases pending in the Family Court concerned are also settled. In the light of settlement reached between the parties it is not necessary to pursue the proceeding in C.C. No.930 of 2009. Hence I am inclined to allow this petition. Crl.MC No.341/2011 2 Resultantly this petition is allowed. Annexure-B, final report in Crime No.455 of 2009 of Perumbavoor Police Station, cognizance taken thereon and proceedings in C.C.No.930 of 2009 of the court of learned Judicial First Class Magistrate, Perumbavoor against petitioner - accused are quashed.
