¶19

Petitioner is the seventh accused

¶20

in C.C.409/2009 on the file of Judicial

¶21

First Class Magistrate-II, Hosdurg taken cognizance for the offences under Sections

¶22

143, 147, 148, 341, 323, 324 and 506(i)

¶23

read with Section 149 of Indian Penal Code. Petition is filed under Section 482 of Code

¶24

of Criminal Procedure to quash the proceedings against the petitioner contending that the case has been settled with the second respondent de facto complainant. Second respondent appeared and he filed Annexure-3 affidavit stating that petitioner is his friend and he approached second respondent to settle his case and he

¶25

¶26

Crmc 136/10

¶27

is prepared to settle the case as against the

¶28

petitioner alone and he has no intention to

¶29

proceed against the petitioner and therefore, he has no objection for quashing the case as against the petitioner.

¶30

Learned counsel appearing for the

¶31

petitioner and learned Public Prosecutor were heard.

¶32

Learned Public Prosecutor

¶33

submitted that when the case has not been

¶34

settled with the other accused, there cannot

¶35

be a quashing of the cognizance taken against the petitioner alone. I find force in the submission. Offences alleged against all the accused are the same. Hence there cannot

¶36

be a piecemeal settlement with one of the accused. Hence, the case cannot be quashed as sought for, based on settlement.

¶37

Crmc 136/10

¶38

Petition is dismissed. But if there

¶39

is settlement with all the accused, they are

¶40

at liberty to approach this court for quashing the proceedings.
