================ ======================= Dated this the 28th day of September, 2015
O R D E R
Petitioners are the accused in C.C.No.90/2014 of the Chief Judicial Magistrate's Court, Ernakulam, which has arisen from Crime No.1254/2013 of the Central Police Station, Ernakulam, for the offences punishable under Sections 120(B), 420 and 409 read with Section 34 IPC. The petitioners have come up with the prayer to get Annexure-I final report and the proceedings in C.C.No.90/2014 of the Chief Judicial Magistrate's Court, Ernakulam, quashed.
2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners, the learned Senior Public Prosecutor and the learned counsel for the contesting party respondent.
3. The learned counsel for the petitioners has pointed out that this is a dispute among the members of the very same family in respect of a company which has got a
standing of around 150 years. It has also been requested that the matter can be referred to a Mediator, so that a mediation can be attempted.
4. There are serious allegations levelled against the petitioners. The correctness of such allegations cannot be gone through by this Court on merits at present as it is a matter which requires evidence. At the same time, the said aspects can be brought to the notice of the court below by the petitioners through an application under Section 239 Cr.P.C. at that stage.
5. Considering the seriousness of the allegations against the petitioners, I do not think that this Court can refer the matter for a mediation. Of course, in case of any settlement between the parties subsequently, they can once again approach this Court under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for the very same relief.
In the result, this Crl.M.C is closed by giving liberty to the petitioners to file an application before the court below
under Section 239 Cr.P.C. The court below shall not insist the personal presence of the petitioners till the stage of Section 239 Cr.P.C.
