THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA CRL.P.M.P.NO.280 OF 2011 & CRIMINAL PETITION NO.322 OF 2011 ORDER: 1 On the basis of a report given by the second respondent herein the Station House Officer, Kurnool IV Town Police Station registered as a case in Cr.No.245 of 2010 against the petitioners herein for the offences punishable under sections 4487, 506 and 306 r/w 511 of IPC. The same is questioned in this petition. 2 The facts in brief are that the second respondent took loan of Rs.30,000/- from the petitioners’ micro finance company and she paid 13 installments at the rate of Rs.1,360/-. But due to financial crises she could not pay the remaining installments. Then the petitioners threatened her to kill if she does not pay the next installment amount. Due to fear and vexation, the petitioner tried to commit suicide by setting herself ablaze. In the meantime her son and neighbours came and pacified her. 3 During the pendency of the said proceedings, it appears, there was a settlement between the parties and a memorandum of understanding has also been reduced into writing to that effect. However, as the alleged offence punishable under section 306 of IPC is not compoundable, Crl.M.P.No.280 of 2011 has been filed under section 320 Cr.P.C. seeking permission of the court to compound the said offence. 4 Today parties are present. When questioned the second respondent -complainant stated that the matter is settled out of court and that she is not interested in getting the matter prosecuted. She further submitted that she has no objection if the said proceedings against the petitioners are quashed. 5 In the light of the said submissions made by the de facto complainant herself that she is not interested in getting the matter prosecuted, this court is of the opinion that the said proceedings pending against the petitioners can be quashed. 6 Accordingly, Crl.M.P.No.280 of 2011 is ordered and the Criminal Petition is allowed and the proceedings in Cr.No.245 of 2010 on the file of the Kurnool IV Town P.S. registered for the offences punishable under sections 448, 506 and 306 r/w 34 of IPC against the petitioners herein are hereby quashed. -------------- 19.01.2011 Kvsn
