O R D E R

Petition filed under Sec.482 Cr.P.C.

2. The petitioner and the 2nd respondent are husband and wife. The petitioner is accused in C.C. No.1019 of 2014 on the file of Judicial First Class Magistrate Court, Irinjalakkuda. He is alleged to have subjected the 2nd respondent to cruelty and thus committed the offence under Sec.498A of Indian Penal Code. It is submitted that the dispute between the parties has been settled. The request is to quash the proceedings in the criminal case.

3. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and for the 2nd respondent and the learned Public Prosecutor.

4. The 2nd respondent has filed an affidavit to the effect that the dispute between the parties has been settled and she has no objection to the proceedings in the criminal case being quashed. I am satisfied that the

Crl.M.C. No.3550 of 2015 2 allegation is true. No public interest is involved in this case. This is a fit case to invoke the jurisdiction of this Court under Sec.482 Cr.P.C. to quash the proceedings in the criminal case.

In the result, this Crl.M.C. is allowed. The proceedings in C.C. No.1019 of 2014 on the file of Judicial First Class Magistrate Court, Irinjalakkuda are quashed. Sd/- K. ABRAHAM MATHEW JUDGE / True Copy / NS P.A To Judge
