O R D E R
This petition is filed with a prayer to quash all further
proceedings in C.C.95/07 of the Chief Judicial Magistrate
Court, Thiruvananthapuram. The allegation against the
accused are u/Ss.143, 147, 148, 341, 323 and 324 IPC. The
defacto complainant and two other injured have filed a
compounding petition whereby they had agreed to compound
the offence and had further stated that they did not have any
grievance against the petitioners and therefore they have no
objection in quashing the proceedings in C.C.95/07. It is
true that some of the offences alleged are non-
compoundable offences. When such is the situation in the
light of the decision of the Apex Court when the Court finds
that there is no point in permitting the litigation to continue
and that the grievance is of a personal nature and that the
parties have compounded the matter the power u/s 482 can
be invoked for the purpose of quashing the complaint. Here
Crl.M.C. 655 OF 2009
-:2:-
they have amicably settled the case and they do not want
further action in the matter. So invoking jurisdiction u/s 482
Cr.P.C. I find that circumstances exist to quash the
proceedings and therefore the Crl.M.C. is allowed and all
further proceedings in C.C.95/07 of the Chief Judicial
Magistrate Court, Thiruvananthapuram is quashed.
M.N. KRISHNAN, JUDGE.
