HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G.BHAVANI PRASAD Criminal Petition Nos. 1983 and 6300 of 2009 Dated : 26.08.2009 Crl.P.No.1983 of 2009 Between : Chityala Venkata Krishna Rao ….. Petitioner a n d 1) Chityala Saritha 2) The State of A.P. ….. Respondents Crl.P.No.6300 of 2009 Between : Ramadugu Krishnamachary ….. Petitioner a n d The State of A.P. & another ….. Respondent HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G.BHAVANI PRASAD Criminal Petition Nos.1983 and 6300 of 2009 COMMON ORDER: The petitioners in both the criminal petitions and the first respondent in Crl.P.No.1983 of 2009, who is the second respondent in Crl.P.No.6300 of 2009, are present before the Court and they are identified by Sri P.Prabhaker Reddy, learned counsel for the first respondent in Crl.P.No.1983 of 2009/second respondent in Crl.P.No.6300 of 2009, and also Sri S.N.Shakeel and Sri G.Mallesham, learned counsel for the petitioners, respectively. Both the criminal petitions clearly stated about the compromise between the parties and request for quashing of the criminal proceedings. The defacto complainant/victim stated before the Court that she compromised all her disputes with the accused and compounded the offences and she desired that the proceedings be quashed. The material on record discloses that the disputes are purely personal in nature not involving any public policy and continuance of the prosecution will be futile in view of the compromise. Nikhil Merchant v. Central Bureau of Investigation[1] is rightly relied on by the learned counsel for the parties and hence the inherent jurisdiction has to be invoked accordingly. Therefore, the further proceedings in C.C.No.124 of 2008 on the file of the Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Devarakonda, Nalgonda District, are quashed. Both the criminal petitions are allowed accordingly. The parties are informed. ______________________ G.BHAVANI PRASAD, J 26th August, 2009 SUR [1] 2008 (2) ALD (Crl.) 591 (SC)
