C.S.DIAS, J.

---------------------------------------------

Crl.M.C. No. 9598 OF 2025 ----------------------------------------------

Dated this the 27^th day of January, 2026 ORDER By order dated 27.10.2025, this Court had directed the Court of the Judicial First Class Magistrate, Kakkanad (Trial Court) to defer the pronouncement of the judgment in S.T.No.2853/2023 in view of the submission made by the learned Counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner is willing to compound the offence. Subsequently, by order dated 31.10.2025, this Court had directed the Trial Court to defer the pronouncement of the judgment subject to the condition that the petitioner pays the amount within six weeks from the date of the above order. It is conceded by both sides that the petitioner has not remitted the amount as undertaken before this Court.

2. Taking into consideration the fact that the complaint is posted before the Trial Court for pronouncement of the judgment, I am not inclined to extend the ‘one time benefit’ that was given to the petitioner as per orders dated

27.10.2025 and 31.10.2025.

Accordingly, this Crl.M.C. is dismissed, without prejudice to the right of the petitioner to raise all his contention before the Trial Court.
