No.1828 of 2011 ==================================== Dated this the 17th day of June, 2011 O R D E R Petitioner is the accused in Crime No.299 of 2011 of Varapuzha Police Station for offence punishable under Section 498A read with Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code. That case was registered on the complaint of second respondent. Parties have now settled the dispute. Annexure-A4 is the affidavit of the second respondent attested by a Notary Public. Learned counsel on both sides confirmed settlement. Learned counsel for second respondent confirmed authenticity and genuineness of Annexure-A4, affidavit. Since the dispute is personal to and between petitioners and second respondent which is settled it is not necessary to continue the prosecution. I am inclined to allow the petition. Resultantly, Criminal Miscellaneous Case is allowed. Annexure-A2, FIR in Crime No.299 of Varapuzha Police Station and proceedings taken pursuant to it against petitioner are quashed. THOMAS P. JOSEPH, JUDGE. vsv
