Heard. Today, when the matter is taken up for hearing, de facto complainant-R.1 is present before this Court and in proof of her identity she filed copy of her driving license bearing No.DLFAP023177472007. She submitted that herself and accused compromised the matter and obtained divorce on mutual consent and reported that she has no objection for quashing the proceedings against the petitioner herein. Crl.P.M.P.No.2747 of 2011 is also filed by the petitioner-accused narrating the compromise between the parties. This Court perused the entire material on record. Even though the offence alleged against the petitioner is non- compoundable in nature, in view of the fact that the parties have compromised the matter outside the Court, this Court is of the view that any continuation of the criminal proceedings would serve no purpose and in view of the guidelines laid down by Hon’ble Supreme Court by exercising inherent powers under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure the further proceedings against the petitioner-accused can be quashed by this Court. Therefore, Crl.P.M.P.No.2747 of 2011 is allowed and consequently the Criminal Petition is also allowed and the further proceedings in C.C.No.173 of 2011 on the file of the Judicial First Class Magistrate-cum-Special Court for Excise at Sangareddy, Medak District, are hereby quashed. Affidavit of the petitioner filed in Crl.P.M.P.No.2747 of 2011 be made as part of this order.
