Madan Mohan Abbot vs State Of Punjab on 26 March, 2008
3. Having considered the gravity of the offences alleged, nature
of the injury caused and having perused the affidavit filed by the
respondents 3 to 9, the contents of which are submitted to be true
and voluntary, I am satisfied that the dispute is settled and no public
interest is involved in this matter. Moreover, in view of the settlement,
Crl.MC.No.262 OF 2021(C)
6
possibility of the criminal proceedings ending in conviction is remote.
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
sought.
