It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner-accused as well as the learned counsel for the 1st respondent that the petitioner married the 1st respondent, since the mother of the 1st respondent is not interested in their marriage, she filed a complaint before the police, when the 1st respondent expressed her intention before the police to drop the criminal complaint, the police without considering her request filed charge sheet, as the petitioner and the 1st respondent are leading a happy marital life, pending criminal proceedings against the petitioner would cause hardship to him, and the 1st respondent has no objection to close the case against the petitioner.

The 1st respondent produced her identity and the same is verified by the learned Additional Public Prosecutor. She stated that herself and the petitioner are residing together and they are leading a happy marital life and she has no objection to close the Sessions Case against the petitioner. She filed an affidavit before this Court which runs as follows: “I am the 1st respondent herein and victim in S.C.No.68/S/2010 on the file of the Special Sessions Judge (under S.Cs & S.Ts (POA) Act, 1989)-cum-IV Addl. Sessions Judge, Guntur, which arose out of Crime No.177 of 2009 of Macherla Town Police Station. Basing on my mother’s complaint, the above said case has been registered against the petitioner-accused for the offences under Sections 366(A) and 376 IPC and Section 3(1) (XII) & 2(V) of S.Cs & S.Ts Act. Since my mother is not interested in our marriage she filed the complaint without my consent. The petitionert married me and now we are leading marital life. I also expressed my intention to the police to drop the criminal complaint, but they said that it cannot be possible since the crime is non-compoundable and filed charge sheet. Now, we both residing together. Hence, pending criminal proceedings against the petitioner-accused would cause hardship. Since we compromised out of Court, this Hon’ble Court may be pleased to quash the proceedings against the petitioner and pass appropriate order or directions or permit me to compound with the petitioner and she has no objection to close the case against the petitioner herein. The learned Addl. Public Prosecutor submitted that there is no objection to quash the proceedings in the Sessions Case inasmuch as both the parties settled the matter amicably. In the light of the compromise arrived at between the parties, this Court is of the view that the proceedings in the Sessions Case can be quashed. Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is allowed and the proceedings in S.C.No.68/S/2010 on the file of the Special Sessions Judge (under S.Cs & S.Ts (POA) Act, 1989)-cum-IV Addl. Sessions Judge, Guntur, are hereby quashed. __________________ RAJA ELANGO, J 27th December, 2010 CBS HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.13064 OF 2010 (Allowed) 27th December, 2010 CBS
