O R D E R

--------------- Petitioners who are accused in C.C. No.1755 of 2013 on the file of the Judicial First Class Magistrate Court-II, Thiruvananthapuram pray that the proceedings in the case may be quashed as the matter has been settled. The allegation is that they have committed the offences under Secs.294(b), 323, 324, 341, 354 and 447 of Indian Penal Code.

2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and respondents 2 to 4 and the learned Public Prosecutor.

3. Petitioners and respondents 2 to 4 are living in the same locality. The victims sustained only minor injuries. They have filed separate affidavits to the effect that the matter has been settled and they have no objection to the proceedings in the criminal case being quashed. I am satisfied that the allegations in the petition

Crl. M.C. No.2478 of 2015 2 are true and no public interest is involved in this case. So I am inclined to grant the prayer.

In the result, this Criminal M.C. is allowed. The proceedings in C.C. No.1755 of 2013 on the file of the Judicial First Class Magistrate Court-II, Thiruvananthapuram are quashed. The learned Magistrate may pass appropriate orders for disposal of the material objects if any produced in the case. Sd/- K. ABRAHAM MATHEW JUDGE / True Copy / NS P.A. To Judge
