THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.KANTHA RAO. CRL. PETITION Nos. 2490 of 2009 & 333 of 2010. COMMON ORDER: Crl. Petition No. 2490 of 2009 and 333 of 2010 are filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C. seeking to quash the proceedings in C.C.No. 319 of 2009 on the file of the II Metropolitan Magistrate, Cyberabad at L.B.Nagar. I have heard the learned Counsel appearing for the petitioners in both the petitions and the learned Additional Public Prosecutor representing the State. The petitioners in Crl.P.No. 2490 of 2009 are A.2 to A.9 and petitioner in Crl.P.No. 333 of 2010 is A.1 in the above C.C. The 3rd respondent who is the de facto complainant is present before this Court. She submits that she has compromised the matter with the petitioners at the instance of the elders and divorce by mutual consent was also granted by the Family Court, Ranga Reddy and that she is not interested to prosecute the case against the petitioners. Since the offences punishable under Sections 3 and 4 of Dowry Prohibition Act are non-compoundable, it is not possible for the parties to approach the trial court for compounding the offences. Since the de facto complainant herself compromised the matter with the petitioners, she will not speak anything against the petitioners even if the trial is conducted against the petitioners and there is no possibility of securing conviction of the petitioners. No useful purpose will be served even if the case is kept pending and it also amounts of abuse of process of law. Therefore, the proceedings against the petitioners in C.C.No. 319 of 2009 on the file of the II Metropolitan Magistrate, Cyberabad at L.B.Nagar are hereby quashed. The criminal petitions are allowed. ______________________ R.KANTHA RAO,J 26.10.2010. KRB. THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.KANTHA RAO. CRL. PETITION Nos. 2490 of 2009 & 333 of 2010.
