HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. KANTHA RAO CRIMINAL PETITION NO.10058 OF 2010 DATE: 07.10.2010 BETWEEN: Mr. Khaiser Khan and three others. - - - Petitioners/A-1 to A-4. AND The State of A.P., Rep. by Public Prosecutor, High Court of A.P., Hyderabad and another. - - - Respondents. This Court made the following : HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.KANTHA RAO CRIMINAL PETITION NO.10058 OF 2010 ORDER: This Criminal Petition is filed by the petitioners/A-1 to A-4, under Section 482 Cr.P.C., seeking to quash the charge sheet in C.C. No.418 of 2010 of Women police station, South Zone, Hyderabad, pending on the file of learned XV Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Hyderabad. Heard Sri Syed Lateef, learned counsel appearing for the Petitioners/A-1 to A-4 and the learned Additional Public Prosecutor representing the State. The brief facts are that the second respondent/de-facto complaint lodged a complaint in Crime No.243 of 2005, on the file of Women police station, South Zone, Hyderabad, after registration of the case, the charge sheet was filed into the Court for the alleged commission of offences by the petitioners, under Section 498-A R/w Section 34 of I.P.C. and Sections 4 and 6 of Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961 (for short, ‘the Act’). However, subsequently, both the parties entered into compromise and the de-facto complainant, who is present before the Court states that in view of the compromise affected at the intervention of the elders, she is not interested to prosecute the case against the petitioners. Since the allegations leveled in the charge sheet also include the commission of offence punishable under Sections 4 and 6 of the Act, which are non-compoundable, it is not possible for the parties to compound the offences before the trial Court. Further, in view of the compromise, if the case is still allowed to be continued in the trial Court, it will cause undue hardship and much inconvenience to both parties. Therefore, to meet the requirements of justice, I deem it appropriate to quash the proceedings in C.C. No.418 of 2010, on the file of learned XV Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Hyderabad. For the foregoing reasons, entire proceedings in C.C. No.418 of 2010 of Women police station, South Zone, Hyderabad, pending on the file of learned XV Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Hyderabad, are hereby quashed. The Criminal Petition is, accordingly, allowed. ________________ R. KANTHA RAO, J Dated: 07.10.2010 Dsh.
