ORDER : Petitioners are the accused in Crime No.449 of 2024 registered at the Vellayil Police Station, Kozhikode, for offences punishable under Sections 126 (2), 115 (2), 118 (1), 118 (2) and 324 (4) read with 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita , 2023. 2. The crime is registered on the allegation that on 18.10.2024 between 10PM and 11 PM at Puthiyangadi Bhat Road beach, accused, due to animosity for sitting on the stretch of beach near their house, wrongfully restrained the defacto complainant and his relative and assaulted them. It is further alleged that they damaged the complainant’s car, thereby causing loss of Rs.10,000/-. 3. Learned Counsel for the petitioners submitted that the dispute, which led to the incident and registration of the crime, is amicably settled between the parties and Annexures 4 and 5 affidavits have been filed by respondents 2 and 3, vouching this fact. 4. Learned Counsel for respondents 2 and 3 also submitted that the dispute is settled and his clients have no grievance against the petitioners. 5. I heard the learned Public Prosecutor also. 6. Having considered the gravity of the offences alleged and having perused the affidavits, contents of which are vouched to be true and voluntary by the Counsel for respondents 2 and 3, I am satisfied that no public interest is involved in this matter and the dispute has been settled amicably. In view of the settlement, there is no possibility of the criminal proceedings ending in conviction. As such, continuance of the proceedings will amount to an abuse of process of court and hence, in view of the legal position set out by the Honourable Supreme Court in Madan Mohan Abbot v State of Punjab [ (2008) 4 SCC 582 ] and Gian Singh v State of Punjab and Another [ (2012) 10 SCC 303 ], there is no impediment in granting the relief. In the result, this Crl.M.C is allowed. Annexure 1 FIR and all further proceedings in Crime No.449 of 2024 registered at the Vellayil Police Station, Kozhikode, as against the petitioners, is quashed.
