THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE P. SWAROOP REDDY CRIMINAL PETITION No.5880 OF 2009 ORDER: This criminal petition is filed under Section 482 of Cr.P.C. by the petitioners – accused 1 to 3 seeking to quash the proceedings in C.C.No.407 of 2009 on the file of the I Additional Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Tenali, arising out of Crime No.114 of 2008 of Tenali I Town Police Station, Guntur District, registered for the offence punishable under Section 498(A) IPC. 2. Heard. 3. On 26.03.2010 this Court passed the following order: “On 21.12.2009 this court passed an order stating that in view of the pendency of divorce petition in O.P.No.28 of 2009, it is not desirable to quash the proceedings in C.C.No.407 of 2008 and it would be desirable to quash the proceedings only after the proceedings in O.P.No.28 of 2009 are concluded. Today, the learned counsel for the petitioners reports that O.P.No.28 of 2009 is dismissed. On 21.12.2009 with an understanding that O.P.No.28 of 2009 being filed with mutual consent, a decree will be passed, compromise was recorded. However, the said O.P.was dismissed. Therefore, I am not inclined to quash the proceedings in C.C.No.407 of 2008.” 4. In pursuance of the compromise recorded, it is a case for quashing the proceedings, if only the O.P.28 of 2009 was allowed on compromise. Now, as the divorce has not taken place, the proceedings in C.C.No.407 of 2008 cannot be quashed. 5. The Criminal Petition is accordingly dismissed. ______________________ P.
