It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioners that during pendency of the Criminal Petition, the matter has been compromised between both parties. Therefore, he prayed to quash the proceedings against the petitioners in the crime. A miscellaneous petition being Crl.M.P.No.14456 of 2011, duly signed by both parties, is filed before the Court seeking permission to compound the offence. The 2nd respondent is present before this Court and produced his identity and the same is verified by the learned Addl. Public Prosecutor. He stated that the matter has been compromised between him and the petitioners in the presence of elders and well wishers and therefore he intends to withdraw the criminal proceedings pending against the petitioners with free will and consent and there is no coercion or undue influence from any other side for the same. He filed an affidavit before the court stating that the matter has been compromised and as such he has no objection to quash the proceedings against the petitioners. The learned Addl. Public Prosecutor submitted that there is no objection to quash the proceedings in the present crime 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 continuation of the criminal proceedings against the petitioners would serve no purpose and invoking the provisions under Section 482 Cr.P.C. the proceedings in the crime can be quashed by compounding the offence. Accordingly, the Crl.M.P.No.14456 of 2011 and the Criminal Petition are allowed and the proceedings initiated against the petitioners in Crime/FIR No.132 of 2011 of Malakpet P.S., Hyderabad, are hereby quashed.
