Act, was satisfied of there being prima facie material to proceed against the appellant under sections 447/419 of the IPC; hence, by an order dated 19 September, 2022, the Special Court transmitted the case to the court of the ACJM. Having regard to the order that this Court proposes to pass, it is considered inessential to refer to who the appellant and the second respondent are and also as to what transpired between them on the relevant date triggering the complaint dated 9 August, 2017 lodged by the latter. Reading of such report reveals tendering of unqualified apology by the appellant to the second respondent for his conduct and remorse being expressed in regard thereto. He, accordingly, prayed that this Court may direct closure of the proceedings upon setting aside the orders of the Special Court and the High Court. Before parting, this Court sounds a note of caution for the appellant to be careful in future to avoid recurrence of similar incident and at the same time records a note of appreciation for the second respondent for not precipitating the matter further.
