HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.8214 OF 2010 ORDER: This criminal petition is filed, under Section 482 Cr.P.C., seeking to quash Crime No.157 of 2009 of Nakrekal Police Station, Nalgonda District, registered for the offences punishable under Sections 420 and 468 IPC, basing on the complaint given by the 3rd petitioner herein against the petitioners 1 and 2 herein. It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioners that the 3rd petitioner is the daughter of the 1st petitioner and sister of the 2nd petitioner and all of them jointly filed the criminal petition as the matter was settled out of Court amicably between them and therefore prayed to quash the proceedings in the aforesaid Crime. All the petitioners are present before this Court. The 3rd petitioner produced her identity and the same is verified by the learned Additional Public Prosecutor. She stated that herself and petitioners 1 and 2 have compromised the matter and therefore she intends to withdraw the criminal proceedings pending against petitioners 1 and 2. She filed an affidavit before this Court, which runs as follows: “I am the 3rd petitioner in this criminal petition. This petition is filed to quash the proceedings in Cr.No.157 of 2009 of Makrekal Police Station of Nalgonda District for the alleged offences under Sections 420 and 468 of IPC initiated by me against the first two petitioners. I am the daughter of the first petitioner and sister of the second petitioner. We have settled our dispute in entirety before the Lok Adalat at Nakrekal in O.S.No.112 of 2009 on the file of the Junior Civil Judge, Nakrekal vide its Award under Section 21 of the Legal Services Authorities Act, 1987 dated 26.11.2009 which is filed along with this quash petition. However, since I am the defacto complainant and since one of the offence i.e. Section 468 IPC happened to be a non- compoundable offence, we could not compromise. In the light of the above facts and circumstances, we have no other option than to approach this Hon’ble High Court invoking the inherent powers u/s 482 Cr.P.C. to quash the proceedings in Cr.No.157 of 2009 of Nakrekal Police Station of Nalgonda District, so as to enable us to live amicably with peace and happiness." The learned Addl. Public Prosecutor submitted that there is no objection to quash the Crime inasmuch as the petitioners settled the matter amicably. In view of the settlement arrived at between the petitioners, this Court is of the view that the Crime can be quashed. Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is allowed and Crime No.157 of 2009 of Nakrekal Police Station, Nalgonda District, is hereby quashed. __________________ RAJA ELANGO, J 23rd August, 2010 CBS HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.8214 OF 2010 (Allowed) 23rd August, 2010 CBS
