ORDER
The petitioners are the accused in Crime No. 626 of 2017 of Edathua Police Station registered for the offence under Section 380 read with Section 34 of IPC.
2. Heard.
3. It has been submitted by the learned counsel for the parties and the learned Public Prosecutor that the matter has been settled between the parties. The first respondent, who is the de facto complainant, filed affidavit stating that the matter has been settled between the parties and hence, she has no further grievance against the petitioners. The first petitioner is aged 19 years and the 2nd petitioner is aged 20 years. Considering the facts -2- Crl.M.C. No. 4544 of 2017 and circumstances of the case, including the fact that the matter has been settled between the parties and also taking into consideration of the age of the petitioners, I am of the view that quashing the said offence would secure the ends of justice. For the said reason, I am inclined to quash Annexure -A2 FIR, final report and further proceedings against the petitioners in Crime No. 626 of 2017 of Edathua Police Station, in exercise of the inherent power under Section 482 Cr.P.C., to meet the ends of justice and accordingly, I order so.
In the result, this Crl. M.C. Stands allowed.
Sd/-B. SUDHEENDRA KUMAR, JUDGE.
