Moosa vs Sub Inspector Of Police on 23 December, 2005

In view of the settlement there is no possibility of conviction. Further since the substratum of the prosecution case has been shattered as per Annexure-A3 judgment, as none of the witnesses have supported the case of the prosecution as against co-accused, no purpose will be served by Crl. M.C.No.6233 of 2015 6 proceeding with this case and that will only amount to wastage of judicial time. If the substratum of the prosecution case has been shattered on the basis of evidence in a proceedings against co-accused, then court can invoke the power under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure to quash the proceedings as against the remaining accused. This was so held in the decision reported in Moosa v. Sub Inspector (2006(1) KLT 552). Further since the matter has been settled between the parties and on account of the settlement there is no possibility of conviction and proceeding with the case will only amount to wastage of judicial time, this court feels that it is a fit case where the power under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure can be invoked to quash the proceedings as against the petitioners as well.
