Sessions Judge, Narasaraopet, in Criminal Appeal No.125 of 2007. Heard both sides. Initially, the petitioners-accused were prosecuted in C.C.No.161 of 2005 by the learned II Additional Junior Civil Judge, Gurazala, wherein they were convicted under Section 248 (2) Cr.P.C. for the offence punishable under Section 498-A of IPC and sentenced to undergo Simple Imprisonment for a period of 1 ½ year each and to pay a fine of Rs.1,000/- each and in default of payment of fine amount, to suffer simple imprisonment for one month each. As against the said conviction, the accused preferred Criminal Appeal No.125 of 2007, whereby the learned XIII Additional Sessions Judge, Narasaraopet, on the consideration of the material available on record, vide judgment dated 06.07.2010, dismissed the appeal confirming the conviction and sentence passed by the trial Court. Aggrieved thereby, present revision is filed by the petitioners-accused. Today, when the matter is taken up for hearing, both the petitioners and the de facto complainant (PW.1) are present before the Court. A miscellaneous petition being Crl.R.C.M.P.No.3689 of 2011 is filed seeking permission to compound the offence and acquit the petitioners/accused. An affidavit duly signed by the de facto complainant (PW.1) is filed before this Court stating that at the intervention of elders and well-wishers, herself and the petitioners/accused settled the disputes amicably and she has no grievance against the petitioners/accused. When questioned, the de facto complainant (PW.1) reiterated the contents of the affidavit and stated that she had no objection to acquit the petitioners/accused. In view of the fact that the parties have compromised the matter outside the Court 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 petitioners/accused can be acquitted. Accordingly, Crl.R.C.M.P.No.3689 of 2011 and the Criminal Revision Case are allowed and the conviction and sentence imposed by the trial Court and confirmed by the Appellate Court are hereby set aside and, consequently, the petitioners-accused are acquitted of the charge levelled against them. The affidavit of the de facto complainant (PW.1) filed into Court be made as part of this order. _______________ RAJA ELANGO, J. 09.12.2011 v v THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO Crl.R.C.M.P.No.3689 of 2011 and CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.1263 of 2010 (Allowed) 9th December, 2011 v v
