Petitioner was the third accused in C.C.No.790

of 2006 on the file of the Judicial Magistrate of

First Class-I, Adoor. The accused allegedly

committed the offences under Section 420 IPC. As

the petitioner absconded only the others were

tried. They were acquitted. Later the petitioner

surrendered and his case is now pending as

C.C.No.2064 of 2018. His prayer is to quash the

proceedings in the light of the acquittal of the

co-accused.

2.

Heard the learned counsel for the

petitioner and the learned Public Prosecutor.

3.

The petitioner absconded at the stage of

hearing under Section 313 CrPC. I have perused

Annexure A1 Judgment by which the co-accused were

acquitted. I am satisfied that the trial of the

petitioner will not serve any purpose.

Crl.MC.No. 4149 of 2018 3

In the result, This Crl.M.C. is allowed. The

proceedings in C.C.No.2064 of 2018 (arising from

Crime No.257 of 2006 of Adoor Police Station) are

quashed.
