HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G.BHAVANI PRASAD Criminal Petition No.7682 of 2009 Dated : 22.09.2009 Between : Abdul Noor Khan & others ….. Petitioners a n d The State of A.P. & another ….. Respondents HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G.BHAVANI PRASAD Criminal Petition No.7682 of 2009 ORDER: Petitioners 1 and 3 and the second respondent are present in person and they are identified by Sri Syed Ahmed Ali, learned counsel for the petitioners. The criminal petition itself has been filed stating that the parties have amicably settled all their disputes and also entered into a settlement deed dated 07.09.2009, a copy of which is filed along with the criminal petition. The request in the criminal petition is for quashing of the criminal proceedings for that reason. The second respondent present in person also stated that she compromised all her disputes and differences and requested for quashing of the criminal proceedings in view of the compromise. The petitioners 1 and 3 also reiterated their request. The disputes are purely personal in nature not involving any public policy. Any continuance of the prosecution will be a futile exercise in view of the compromise. As such, inherent jurisdiction has to be invoked by taking a pragmatic view to put an end to the vexing litigation. Therefore, the further proceedings in crime No.13 of 2009 of Kalapather Police Station are quashed and the criminal petition is allowed. The parties are informed. ______________________ G.BHAVANI PRASAD, J 22nd September, 2009 SUR
