THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA CRL.PETITION NO.12835 OF 2010 ORDER: 1 On the basis of a report given by the 2nd respondent herein by name Gunreddy Krishna Reddy, the Gudipalli Police registered a case in Cr.No.115 of 2010 against the petitioners herein for the offences punishable under sections 147, 148, 452 and 307 r/w Section 149 of IPC. 2 However, during the course of investigation, it appears, there was a settlement between the parties and in the light of the said settlement, the 2nd respondent agreed to withdraw the complaint. But, as the offence punishable under section 307 of IPC is non- compoundable the petitioners approached this court and filed the present petition under section 482 of Cr.P.C. requesting this court to quash the said proceedings. 3 Today both the parties are present. When questioned the 2nd respondent submitted that he is not interested in getting the matter prosecuted and he further submitted that he has no objection if the said proceedings against the petitioners are quashed. 4 It is true that the offence punishable under section 307 of IPC is non-compoundable and in normal circumstances, this court would not have entertained this application and compound the offence, particularly, when the offence alleged against the petitioners is one under section 307 of IPC. But, having regard to the fact that the 2nd respondent himself came forward stating that he is not interested in getting the matter prosecuted, and ultimately even if the said proceedings are continued, the case will end in acquittal as the de facto complainant may not support the case of the prosecution in view of the compromised arrived at between the parties. In those circumstances this court is of the considered view that the entire exercise would become futile. 5 Accordingly, this Criminal Petition is allowed and the proceedings in Cr.No.115 of 2010 on the file of Gudipalli P.S. Nalgonda District registered against the petitioners for the offences punishable under sections 147, 148, 452 and 307 r/w Section 149 of IPC are hereby quashed. _____________________________ GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA, J 22nd December 2010 Kvsn
