''19. So under the circumstances this Court feels that it is not a fit case to quash the proceedings as against all the accused persons merely on the ground that it was settled between the parties especially when it is a political clash and grave offences have been incorporated. But, as far as the 6th petitioner is concerned, it is seen that he has got an employment now and he is undergoing training which is evident from Annexure -IV letter. It is true that this Court has in one writ petition observed that criminalisation in service has to be eliminated. This petitioner had without knowing the consequences, under the blind belief of politics involved in this incident and he has no other criminal background as well. If this opportunity is denied to him, he is likely to get frustration in life and that may lead to other consequence as well. So giving an opportunity to man to reform himself, correct himself and lead a good life always must be the policy in criminal matters if the Court is of the opinion that, that will give him a better thinking in his future life. So hoping that this will be a lesson for him that involving in criminal activities on the basis of politics without knowing his responsibility to the society will land him in trouble in future and hoping that he might have understood consequences of his act and considering the nature of overt act alleged against him shows that he has no intention to commit grave offence alleged, this Court feels that taking this as an exceptional circumstances, composition as regards the 6th petitioner alone can be accepted for the purpose of quashing the proceedings invoking the power under S.482 of the Code under the hope that he might have understood the consequences of his act and that he will not repeat the same even after he is getting an employment and he will work for the society as a Government servant and not as a political servant of any particular party. So under the circumstance, this Court feels that this is not a fit case to quash the entire proceedings as against all the petitioners especially when it is a political clash between two groups and such clash are causing threat to life of persons belonging to both groups and also considering the fact that some of the accused are accused in other cases as well. But taking an exceptional circumstance, this Court feels that the power can be exercised only in respect of 6th petitioner alone as he has got an employment and as an opportunity to reform himself and settle in life. So the application is allowed in part. The prayer of quashing the proceedings as against the petitioners 1 to 5 and 7 (as per clause title 1 to 3,5,6 and 8) is rejected and proceedings as against the 6th petitioner namely Renjith Kumar alone is quashed and further proceedings in SC No.1065/13 as against the petitioner namely Renjith Kumar (Crime No.299/2011 of Poochakkal Police Station) pending before Additional Sessions Court No.III, Alappuzha alone is quashed and the prayer to quash in respect of other petitioners is rejected.''
