HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.1138 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioners approached this Court with a prayer to quash the proceedings in P.R.C.No.47 of 2010 on the file of the IV Metropolitan Magistrate, Cyberabad at Ibrahimpatnam, Heard both sides. Learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that the de facto complainant i.e., respondent No.2 herein and the petitioners herein have entered into a compromise and to that effect the de facto complainant filed an affidavit before this Court and prayed to allow the Criminal Petition. The said affidavit filed by the de facto complainant reads as under: - “I, Bura Janaki Ramulu, S/o Anjaiah, aged about 25 years, occ: Home Guard in Cyberabad Commissionerate, R/o Arutla Village, Manchal Mandal, Ranga Reddy District, do hereby solemnly affirm and sincerely state on oath as follows: - I am the 2nd respondent herein and de facto complainant in Crime No.120 of 2010 of P.S.Manchal, Ranga Reddy District and as such, I am well conversant with the facts deposed hereunder. I submit that I am working as Home Guard in Cyberabad Commissionerate and residing in Arutla Village, Manchal Mandal, Ranga Reddy District. Basing on a complaint given by me, the police Manchal, registered a case in Crime No.120 of 2010 for the offence under Section 3(10) (x) of SC/ST (POA) Act and Sections 323 and 504 read with Section 34 IPC. Subsequently, the police filed the charge sheet before the court of learned IV Metropolitan Magistrate, Cyberabad, which is numbered as P.R.C.No.47 of 2010. I submit that the above said complaint was given by me on account of differences between me and the petitioners herein. I submit that at the instance of elders and well-wishers the matter has been amicably resolved. In view of the amicable settlement, I am not interested to pursue the above said case and has no objection if the said proceedings in P.R.C.No.47 of 2010 are quashed.” The de facto complainant-respondent No.2 is present before this Court. On questioning by this Court, he stated that there is no force on him to compromise the matter and he has chosen to compromise on his own accord, at the instance of the elders and well-wishers. In view of the said affidavit filed by the de facto complainant, this Court is of the view that the pendency of P.R.C.No.47 of 2010 on the file of the IV Metropolitan Magistrate, Cyberabad and the continuance of the trial in the said matter amount to abuse of process of law. Hence, the Criminal Petition is allowed and consequently, the proceedings in P.R.C.No.47 of 2010 on the file of the IV Metropolitan Magistrate, Cyberabad, are hereby quashed. ______________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 07th February, 2011 DR
