Though notice was ordered and received by the<\/p>\n<p>second respondent, he had not chosen to appear before<\/p>\n<p>this Court.    I have heard the learned counsel for the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner as well as the learned Public Prosecutor.<\/p>\n<p>Initially, Crime No.52 of 2004 was registered in the<\/p>\n<p>Kottayam West Police Station under the caption &#8220;man<\/p>\n<p>missing&#8221; on the basis of the information furnished by the<\/p>\n<p>second respondent regarding the missing of his minor<\/p>\n<p>daughter on 28.1.2004. After registration of the crime,<\/p>\n<p>the Police undertook the investigation and finally traced<\/p>\n<p>out the detenue from Bangalore and produced before the<\/p>\n<p>Magistrate concerned and subsequently produced before<\/p>\n<p>Crl.M.C.No.4111 of 2005<\/p>\n<p>                            :-2-:\n<\/p>\n<p>the Judicial First Class Magistrate Court-III, Kottayam.<\/p>\n<p>On finalising the investigation, the Police filed a final<\/p>\n<p>report before the court below. According to the Police,<\/p>\n<p>since the alleged detenue was a minor at the time of the<\/p>\n<p>registration of the crime and on subsequently realising<\/p>\n<p>that the girl was      kidnapped by the petitioner, they<\/p>\n<p>incorporated Section 363A of I.P.C.     On filing the final<\/p>\n<p>report, the court below took cognisance and instituted<\/p>\n<p>C.P.No.3 of 2005 before it. It is the above committal<\/p>\n<p>proceedings and the final report being challenged and<\/p>\n<p>sought to be quashed.\n<\/p>\n<p>      3.    It is stated that   while the investigation in<\/p>\n<p>Crime No.52 of 2004 was pending, the second<\/p>\n<p>respondent herein had approached this Court by filing<\/p>\n<p>W.P.(Crl) No.49 of 2004 with a prayer to issue a writ of<\/p>\n<p>habeas corpus directing the Police to produce the so-<\/p>\n<p>called detenue. It is also stated that on 3.9.2004, the<\/p>\n<p>detenue was produced before this Court and on realising<\/p>\n<p>Crl.M.C.No.4111 of 2005<\/p>\n<p>                            :-3-:\n<\/p>\n<p>the fact that the detenue went along with the petitioner<\/p>\n<p>out of her volition and free will, this Court allowed the<\/p>\n<p>detenue namely, the daughter of the second respondent<\/p>\n<p>to go along with the petitioner. In support of the above<\/p>\n<p>claims and averments, the petitioner has produced<\/p>\n<p>Annexure-2 order of this Court in W.P.(Crl) No.49 of<\/p>\n<p>2004. On a perusal of Annexure-2 order, it can be seen<\/p>\n<p>that the detenue has stated before the Division Bench of<\/p>\n<p>this Court that the fifth respondent who is the petitioner<\/p>\n<p>herein had married her and she was three months&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>pregnant at that time and she had attained the age of<\/p>\n<p>18.   It appears that the fifth respondent assured the<\/p>\n<p>court that steps will be taken to conduct the marriage<\/p>\n<p>under the Special Marriage Act. The grievance of the<\/p>\n<p>second respondent in this Crl.M.C., who is the petitioner<\/p>\n<p>in the writ petition, was that the marriage which was<\/p>\n<p>conducted through Arya Samajam was not proper and<\/p>\n<p>hence a proper marriage should be conducted. After<\/p>\n<p>Crl.M.C.No.4111 of 2005<\/p>\n<p>                           :-4-:\n<\/p>\n<p>recording all the above, this Court was pleased to<\/p>\n<p>dispose of the writ petition and the girl was set free to<\/p>\n<p>live along with the fifth respondent\/petitioner herein or<\/p>\n<p>according to her likes.     By producing Annexure A3<\/p>\n<p>marriage certificate issued under the provisions of the<\/p>\n<p>Special Marriage Act, 1954, it is submitted that a<\/p>\n<p>statutory marriage was arranged and now the petitioner<\/p>\n<p>as well as the daughter of the second respondent are<\/p>\n<p>living as man and wife and now they are undergoing a<\/p>\n<p>happy family life and a child is born in their wedlock.<\/p>\n<p>      4.    On the strength of the above developments<\/p>\n<p>and the factual circumstances involved in the case, the<\/p>\n<p>learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the<\/p>\n<p>criminal proceedings against the petitioner are liable to<\/p>\n<p>be quashed, otherwise it will adversely affect the marital<\/p>\n<p>life of the petitioner as well as the daughter of the<\/p>\n<p>second respondent and the continuation of the criminal<\/p>\n<p>proceedings will amount to abuse of process of the<\/p>\n<p>Crl.M.C.No.4111 of 2005<\/p>\n<p>                              :-5-:\n<\/p>\n<p>court.    Along with this Crl.M.C., the petitioner has<\/p>\n<p>produced an affidavit of the daughter of the second<\/p>\n<p>respondent viz., Rini Arun.        In para 1 of the above<\/p>\n<p>affidavit, it is stated that the allegations contained in the<\/p>\n<p>charge sheet are absolutely baseless and she had<\/p>\n<p>voluntarily gone out according to her own volition and<\/p>\n<p>out of love with an intention to live along with the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner. In para 2 of the affidavit, it is also stated that<\/p>\n<p>she is residing along with petitioner as a legally married<\/p>\n<p>wife and they had a very happy and peaceful married<\/p>\n<p>life. It is also stated that a male child was born in their<\/p>\n<p>wedlock. Therefore, according to the deponent, if the<\/p>\n<p>proceedings in C.P.No.3 of 2004 are allowed to<\/p>\n<p>continue, it will result in irreparable injury and hardship<\/p>\n<p>which will ultimately affect the peaceful family life<\/p>\n<p>which she pursues.\n<\/p>\n<p>      5.    Going by the materials available on record<\/p>\n<p>and the factual circumstances involved in the case, it<\/p>\n<p>Crl.M.C.No.4111 of 2005<\/p>\n<p>                             :-6-:\n<\/p>\n<p>appears that the dispute between the parties is now at<\/p>\n<p>rest. As stated earlier, initially a crime was registered<\/p>\n<p>for &#8216;man missing&#8217; and finally, the Police filed a report<\/p>\n<p>alleging offence punishable under Section 363 A of<\/p>\n<p>I.P.C. Considering the subsequent development in the<\/p>\n<p>matter, I am of the view that no purpose will be served if<\/p>\n<p>the proceedings pending before the court below are<\/p>\n<p>allowed to continue.       Considering the fact that the<\/p>\n<p>alleged detenue who is the daughter of the de facto<\/p>\n<p>complainant is now residing along with the petitioner as<\/p>\n<p>his legally married wife and a child was born out in their<\/p>\n<p>wed lock, the criminal proceedings if are allowed to<\/p>\n<p>continue, it will likely to adversely affect the marital life<\/p>\n<p>of the petitioner as well as the daughter of the second<\/p>\n<p>respondent. A perusal of Annexure A2 judgment would<\/p>\n<p>show that at that time, the grievance of the second<\/p>\n<p>respondent, the father of the alleged detenue was that<\/p>\n<p>there was no proper marriage.        The said grievance is<\/p>\n<p>Crl.M.C.No.4111 of 2005<\/p>\n<p>                           :-7-:\n<\/p>\n<p>seen to have redressed as evidenced by Annexure A3<\/p>\n<p>Certificate of Marriage.\n<\/p>\n<p>      6.     The Apex Court, in a decision reported in<\/p>\n<p>B.S.Joshi v. State of Haryana (AIR 2003 SC 1386),<\/p>\n<p>though the case was connected with the matrimonial<\/p>\n<p>offences, it was held that Section 320 of the Code of<\/p>\n<p>Criminal Procedure will not stand in the way to exercise<\/p>\n<p>the powers of High Court under Section 482 to give<\/p>\n<p>effect a genuine settlement, and it is the duty of the<\/p>\n<p>court to see that such a genuine settlement is allowed to<\/p>\n<p>materialise. Similarly, in a decision of a Division Bench<\/p>\n<p>of this Court reported in <a href=\"\/doc\/1696359\/\">Thankamma v. State of<\/p>\n<p>Kerala<\/a> (2006(3) KLT 846), though in that case, the<\/p>\n<p>offence involved was Section 498A of the I.P.C., it was<\/p>\n<p>held that for the ends of justice and to save the<\/p>\n<p>institution of marriage, a settlement can be acted upon<\/p>\n<p>and the inherent powers of Section 482 can be invoked<\/p>\n<p>to compound an offence which is otherwise non-<\/p>\n<p>Crl.M.C.No.4111 of 2005<\/p>\n<p>                             :-8-:\n<\/p>\n<p>compoundable.          Those decisions are to save the<\/p>\n<p>institution of marriage and not to reopen the dispute so<\/p>\n<p>as to disturb the marital bondage. In the light of the<\/p>\n<p>above decision and the factual circumstance involved in<\/p>\n<p>the case, I am of the view that the final report and the<\/p>\n<p>committal proceedings instituted thereon and all further<\/p>\n<p>proceedings thereto can be quashed for the ends of<\/p>\n<p>justice.\n<\/p>\n<p>            In the result, the final report and C.P.No.3 of<\/p>\n<p>2005 on the file of the Judicial First Class Magistrate<\/p>\n<p>Court-III, Kottayam are quashed.          The Crl.M.C. is<\/p>\n<p>allowed.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>                                       V.K.Mohanan,<br \/>\n                                            Judge<\/p>\n<p>MBS\/<\/p>\n<p>Crl.M.C.No.4111 of 2005<\/p>\n<p>                           :-9-:\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>                                   V.K.MOHANAN, J.\n<\/p>\n<p>                          &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                   Crl.R.P.NO.
