JUSTICE M.NAGAPRASANNA) 1. Petitioners in all these cases are either the complainants or the accused. 2. Criminal Petition Nos.103841/2023, 101100/2023 & 102934/2024 are preferred by accused Nos.1 to 6. Criminal Petition No.102653/2024 is preferred by accused Nos.1 to 13. The complainant in Criminal Petition No.102653/2024 are accused Nos.1 to 6 in the companion petitions and the complainant in the companion petitions i.e., where accused Nos.1 to 6 have challenged the accused in Criminal Petition No.102653/2024. The issue in the case at hand is a case and a counter case. 3. Heard the learned counsels Shri K.L.Patil & Shri S.A. Sandur, Shri Gangadhar S.Hosakeri and Shri Chetan Munnoli as appearing for the petitioners; - 8 - NC: 2025:KHC-D:2321 CRL.P No. 103841 of 2023 C/W CRL.P No. 101100 of 2023 CRL.P No. 102653 of 2024 CRL.P No. 102934 of 2024 learned AGA Shri Sharad V.Magadum appearing for respondent No.1. 4. On 08.08.2023, the alleged incident is said to have taken place where the accused No.1 in Crime No.15 of 2023 assaults the father of the complainant and another person on his head. This incident results in two crimes being registered, one Crime No.15 of 2023 and another Crime No.16 of 2023 for the identical offences. The Police conduct investigation and files a charge-sheet in both these cases for the offences punishable under Sections 324 & 326. Inter alia on 15.05.2023, filing of the charge-sheet and issuance of summons to each of these petitioners is what has driven them to this Court in the subject petition. 5. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioners in both these cases would take this Court through the respective charge-sheet so filed by the Police to contend that there is no warrant of drawing up offences under Sections 324, 326 or 504, 506 of the IPC. The incident was - 9 - NC: 2025:KHC-D:2321 CRL.P No. 103841 of 2023 C/W CRL.P No. 101100 of 2023 CRL.P No. 102653 of 2024 CRL.P No. 102934 of 2024 a plain squabble between the petitioners and the complainants. This has been blown out of proportion by each of them. 6. Both the learned counsel would submit that, the petitioners were also hurled certain blows and the complainants also were in retaliation. Learned counsel taking this Court through the documents, would submit that in both the cases there is no indication except the fact that there was a minor squabble between the two. Learned counsel would submit that, the proceedings be quashed and petitioners be permitted to live happily. 7. Learned AGA appearing for the respondent – State would however refute the submission contending that the petitioners have indulged in assault on each other and therefore, this Court should not interfere at this stage as there are wound certificates available at the time of investigation which clearly indicates that all the injuries / wound that the complainants or the accused have suffered - 10 - NC: 2025:KHC-D:2321 CRL.P No. 103841 of 2023 C/W CRL.P No. 101100 of 2023 CRL.P No. 102653 of 2024 CRL.P No. 102934 of 2024 are all simple in nature. Nonetheless, learned AGA submits that it is for the petitioners to come out clean in a case and a counter case. 8. I have given my anxious consideration to the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned AGA and perused the material on record. 9. The afore-narrated facts are not in dispute. The father of the complainant in Criminal Petition No.103841/2023 and connected cases were accused Nos.1 to 6 and is said to have been assaulted by the complainant. The assault takes place on the incident of removal of water pipes which led to stoppage of water from a nearby lake. This led to a verbal squabble and then assault between the two, which results in two Crimes being registered one Crime No.15 of 2023 for the offences punishable under Sections 143, 147, 148, 324, 326, 504 506 & 149 of IPC and Crime No.16 of 2023 for the identical offences. The Police conduct investigation and files charge- - 11 - NC: 2025:KHC-D:2321 CRL.P No. 103841 of 2023 C/W CRL.P No. 101100 of 2023 CRL.P No. 102653 of 2024 CRL.P No. 102934 of 2024 sheet in both these cases. The filing of the charge-sheet is what is driven these petitioners to this Court in the subject petitions. Charge-sheet filed qua accused Nos.1 to 6 in Crime No.15 of 2024, reads as follows: “17.

A perusal at the summary of charge sheet as obtained in Column No.17 in both these cases, would indicate that the allegations are verbatim similar. What began as a verbal squabble appears to have resulted in a few blows to the petitioners and a few blows to the complainants from the petitioners. Both the petitioners and the respondents would submit that they have resolved the dispute between them and therefore wanting the crime obliterated. Apart from the said submission, a perusal at the summary of the charge-sheet in both these cases would not indicate that the offence under Section 324 or 326 being met, at best it could be Sections 323, 504 & 506 of IPC. As a good certificate also indicates that, wounds afflicted during the squabble, are simple in nature barring one injury in one of the cases. - 14 - NC: 2025:KHC-D:2321 CRL.P No. 103841 of 2023 C/W CRL.P No. 101100 of 2023 CRL.P No. 102653 of 2024 CRL.P No. 102934 of 2024 12. Finding that both the parties are now wanting to resolve the dispute between them and the wound certificate not indicating grave injuries, I deem it appropriate to pass the following: ORDER i. Petitions are allowed. ii. The impugned proceedings in Crime Nos.15/2023 & 16/2023, registered by the Alnavar Police Station, Dist: Dharwad, pending on the file of the III Addl.Civil Judge and JMFC, Dharwad, is hereby quashed.
