ORDER

The petitioners herein are the two accused in S.C.No.31/2015 of the Additional District and Sessions Court-I, Manjeri, involving the offences under Section 498(A) and 306 IPC. They seek orders quashing the proceedings on the ground of amicable settlement made out of court. It is not known who settled the matter. The victim is no more, and that is why there is a charge under Section 306 IPC. It appears that the other witnesses are not interested in the prosecution. Anyway, that is not a ground to quash the proceedings under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. In matters like this, this Court cannot quash the proceedings under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, on the ground of settlement. The accused will have to face trial before the trial court. Settlement out of court can be accepted by the court for passing orders under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure only in cases where the accused and the complainant, or the victim of offence,

Crl.M.C.No.5475/2015 have come to terms. In cases like this such a settlement is not possible.

2.

Now the learned counsel for the petitioner makes a request for a direction for expeditious disposal of the case. It is not known what exactly is the pendency in the trial court. Anyway, if that is the request, the petitioners can approach the trial court with necessary application, which will be appropriately considered by the learned trial judge. With these observations, this Crl.M.C. is disposed of. SD/- P. UBAID JV JUDGE
