Of these, 629 cases were quashed by the courts. Of the 206 cases under the consideration of the court, the government has agreed to withdraw 84 cases. The decision has to be taken by the respective courts. Only one case is in the investigation stage. Application should be filed with the government for settling the case. Only those cases wherein no application for settlement has been filed and cases wherein serious offences have been committed are being continued, Mr. Vijayan said.
