HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G.BHAVANI PRASAD Criminal Petition No.7250 of 2009 Dated : 11.09.2009 Between : Smt.Ameena Begum & 2 others ….. Petitioners a n d The State of A.P. & another ….. Respondents HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G.BHAVANI PRASAD Criminal Petition No.7250 of 2009 ORDER: Petitioners 1 to 3 and the second respondent are present in person and they are identified by Sri G.Venkanna, learned counsel for the petitioners. The second respondent stated before the Court that she compromised all the disputes with the accused and compounded the offences and therefore, the further proceedings may be quashed against all the five accused in C.C.No.172 of 2009. The criminal petition itself stated that the parties have settled the disputes on the advice of the elders and well wishers; a settlement deed dated 15.07.2009 was also reduced into writing and therefore, the criminal proceedings may be discontinued. The petitioners also reiterated the same request before the Court. The disputes are purely personal in nature not involving any public policy and the continuance of the prosecution is futile in view of the compromise between the parties. The litigation should be put an end to by taking a pragmatic view under such circumstances by invoking the inherent powers of this Court. Therefore, the further proceedings in C.C.No.172 of 2009 on the file of the XIII Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Nampally, Hyderabad, are quashed and the criminal petition is allowed. The parties are informed. ______________________ G.BHAVANI PRASAD, J 11th September, 2009 SUR
