The police after investigation submitted Annexure-I, final report before learned Judicial First Class Magistrate-I, Kozhikode which was taken on file as C.C.No.692 of 2009. Petitioners have settled the dispute with the first respondent, wife of first petitioner and on the strength of that settlement request to quash proceedings against them. 2. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioners, first respondent and learned Public Prosecutor. Counsel on both sides confirmed the settlement and authenticity of Annexure-III, photocopy of agreement dated 31.03.2011 executed between first petitioner and first respondent and the joint petition signed by petitioners, first respondent and their respective counsel. It is seen from the records that the dispute between first petitioner Crl.M.C. No. 1293 of 2011 2 and first respondent is settled. Hence, it is not necessary to continue proceedings. I am inclined to allow this Crl.M.C. Criminal Miscellaneous Case is allowed. Final report in Crime No.340 of 2009 of Chevayur Police Station, cognizance taken thereon and proceeding against petitioners in C.C.No.692 of 2009 of the Court of learned Judicial First Class Magistrate-I, Kozhikode are quashed.
