THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G.V.SEETHAPATHY CRIMINAL PETITION No.8700 OF 2009 DATED:07-12-2010 ORDER: This petition is filed under Section 482 of Cr.P.C. for quashing the proceedings in C.C.No.203 of 2009 on the file of the learned Principal Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Warangal. 2. 1st petitioner-A1 and the 1st respondent-complainant are present. Petitioners 2 to 5 are absent. Sri S.N.Shakeel, learned counsel for the petitioners and Sri T.Mahesh Kumar, learned counsel for the 1st respondent- complainant are present. 3. A joint memo has been filed by both parties stating that they have settled their matrimonial dispute amicably and they are now living together, leading happy married life, and in view of the compromise, the 1st respondent–complainant is no longer interested in prosecuting the petitioners 1 to 5 in C.C.No.203 of 2009 pending on the file of the learned Principal Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Warangal. The terms of compromise, which are stated in the joint memo filed by the petitioners and the 1st respondent, are placed on record. 4. Having regard to the fact that the matrimonial dispute has been settled out side the Court and both parties have entered into memorandum of understanding and the 1st respondent- complainant is no more interested in prosecuting criminal proceedings against the petitioners-A1 to A5, it is considered that no useful purpose would be served by continuing further proceedings in C.C.No.203 of 2009 on the file of the learned Principal Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Warangal against the petitioners-A1 to A5. It is therefore considered a fit case to invoke inherent powers of this Court under Section 482 Cr.P.C. to quash further proceedings against the petitioners-A1 to A5 in C.C.No.203 of 2009 on the file of the learned Principal Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Warangal. 5. In the circumstances, further proceedings in C.C.No.203 of 2009 on the file of the learned Principal Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Warangal, against the petitioners-A1 to A5 are held liable to be quashed and are accordingly quashed. 6. In the result, Criminal Petition is disposed of. _______________________ G.V.SEETHAPATHY, J 07th December, 2010 Tsy
