By Public Prosecutor and anr. …Respondents HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No. 1743 OF 2009. ORDER: This Criminal Petition under Section 482 of Cr.P.C. is ﬁled to quash the proceedings in Cr.No. 232 of 2008 of IV Additional First Class Magistrate, Warangal. It is submitted by the learned Counsel for the petitioners that the second respondent-defacto complainant ﬁled an aﬃdavit before this Court stating that she is not interested to pursue the matter any further inasmuch as the matter is settled out of Court. The said affidavit runs as follows: “ I am the second respondent herein and as such I am well acquainted with the facts of the case. I humbly submit that basing on a complaint given by me before the Subedari Police Station, Warangal District, a case in Cr.No. 232 of 2008 has been registered against the petitioners herein for the oﬀence under Section 498-A of IPC and Sections 3 and 4 of the DP Act. I submit that the petitioners herein ﬁled the above Crl.P.No.1743 of 2009 before this honourable Court seeking to quash the proceedings in Cr.No. 232 of 2008. During the pendency of the said criminal petition, at the intervention of elders and well-wishers, the matter has been amicably settled in between me and the petitioners and accordingly the matter has been compromised on 2.7.2010. In terms of the said compromise, the continuation of the proceedings will not serve any purpose. I therefore humbly pray this Honourable Court to quash the proceedings in Cr.No. 232 of 2008 on the ﬁle of the Subedari P.S., Warangal District, now pending on the file of IV Additional First Class Magistrate at Warangal, in the interest of Justice. This aﬃdavit is deposed by me without any force or undue influence.” Today when the matter is posted for hearing, the learned Counsel appearing on either side submitted that having the ﬁrst petitioner and the ﬁrst respondent-defacto-complainant settled the dispute amicably out of Court, prayed to quash the said proceedings pending before the Police Station. The learned Public Prosecutor submitted that there is no objection for quashing the proceedings in view of the amicable settlement arrived at between the parties. In view of the settlement arrived at between the parties, further continuance of the proceedings before the Court below may cause hurdle/prejudice to the parties herein and therefore they are liable to be quashed. Accordingly, proceedings in Cr.No. 232 of 2008 pending on the ﬁle of the learned IV Additional First Class Magistrate, Warangal are hereby quashed. The Criminal Petition is accordingly allowed. ----------------------------------- JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO DATED 15T H JULY, 2010. Msnr.
