Key legal question

Whether the criminal proceedings should be discontinued after withdrawal of the complaint following settlement.

Extracted holding

The proceedings were struck from the roll and the file was returned to the prosecuting authority for further action within its competence.

Extracted reasoning

Because the private complainant withdrew the criminal complaint during the hearing after the parties reached an amicable settlement, the basis for continuing the proceedings fell away; Art. 31 CPS was invoked.
