THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.KANTHA RAO. CRL. PETITION No. 8737 of 2010. ORDER: Heard the learned Counsel for the petitioners and the learned Public Prosecutor representing the State. On the complaint lodged by the 2nd respondent/de facto complainant, a case in Cr.No. 222 of 2007 of P.S. Gannavaram was registered against the accused for the offence under Section 4 (i) (ii) of A.P. Prevention of Ragging Act, 1997 and the same is numbered as C.C.No. 468 of 2007 on the file of V Metropolitan Magistrate, Gannavaram. Both the de facto complainant and respondents/accused present are before this Court and they submitted that they have compromised the matter out of court and that since the offence under Section 4 (i) (ii) of A.P. Prevention of Ragging Act, 1997 is non- compoundable, the present criminal petition is filed seeking to quash the proceedings in C.C.No. 468 of 2007. As the parties have compromised the matter, no useful purpose will be served even if the case is kept pending since there is no possibility for the prosecution to prove the case against the petitioner/respondents. In the circumstances, I am of the view that the proceedings in C.C.No 468 of 2007 can be quashed. Accordingly, the proceedings in C.C.No. 468 of 2007 on the file of V Metropolitan Magistrate, Gannavaram are quashed. The criminal petition is allowed. _______________________ R.KANTHA RAO,J 13.09.2010. KRB. THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.KANTHA RAO. CRL. PETITION No. 8737 of 2010. ORDER: Dt. 13.09.2010.
