FOR R2) THIS CRIMINAL PETITION IS FILED UNDER SECTION 482 OF THE CR.P.C., PRAYING TO QUASH THE ORDER DT.27.3.2008 PASSED BY THE JMFC., UDUPI, IN C.C.NO.1819/08 AND ALL PROCEEDINGS PURSUANT THERETO. THESE CRIMINAL PETITIONS COMING ON FOR ORDERS THIS DAY, THE COURT MADE THE FOLLOWING : O R D E R The petitioners in these two petitions have sought for quashing of the proceedings in C.C.No.2008/2008 and C.C.No.1819/2008 on the file of the JMFC, Udupi, which cases have been registered for the offences u/ss.143, 147, 352, 324, 506 r/w.149 of IPC and 143, 147, 506, 341, 324 r/w.149 of IPC respectively. 2. The papers reveal that the occurrence has taken place in a clash that had taken place in an annual festival held in Sri Mahalingeshwara temple, Padubidri. Today the petitioners, who are the 7 complainants in the rival cases, have filed a joint memo supported with the affidavits of each of the person stating that they have settled the matter amicably between them at the instance of the well wishers and therefore, the entire proceedings initiated against them in the aforementioned cases be quashed. The joint memo that has been filed is supported with the affidavits of the parties duly attested by their respective counsels who also submitted that the parties have settled the matter between themselves. 3. Since the occurrence has taken place between the two groups in an annual festival of the temple and as they have settled the matter amicably and further as the offence complained off are also compoundable as on the date of occurrence, I do not find any justification to decline the request of the petitioners. Therefore, accepting the joint memo filed by the respective parties supported by the affidavits, the proceedings in both the cases i.e. C.C.No.2008/2008 and C.C.No.1819/2008 on the file of the JMFC, Udupi, is quashed. 8 With the above said observations, the petitions are disposed of.
