HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION Nos.4900 & 12367 of 2011 COMMON ORDER: Since parties to the proceedings are one and same, both the criminal petitions are being disposed of together by this common order. Petitioner filed these two criminal petitions, under Section 482 of Cr.P.C., seeking to quash the proceedings initiated against him in Crime No.315 of 2011 of Vanasthalipuram P.S., Cyberabad, registered for the offence punishable under Section 3(1)(x) of SCs & STs (POA) Act 1989 and in P.R.C.No.34 of 2011 on the file of the VII Metropolitan Magistrate, Cyberabad at Hayathnagar, Ranga Reddy District for the same offence. When the matter is taken up for hearing today, it is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that during pendency of the Criminal Petitions, at the intervention of elders and well wishers, both the parties compromised the matter out of Court and, therefore, he prayed to quash the proceedings against the petitioner. The petitioner and the de facto complainant, 1st respondent herein, are present before this Court and produced their identities and the same are verified by the learned Addl. Public Prosecutor. The 1st respondent stated that on the advice of elders and well-wishers, herself and the petitioner have compromised the matter out of Court and therefore she intends to withdraw the criminal proceedings pending against the petitioner with free will and consent and there is no coercion or undue influence from any other side for the same. She also filed affidavits in the criminal petitions narrating the compromise. The learned Addl. Public Prosecutor submitted that there is no objection to quash the proceedings inasmuch as both the parties settled the matter amicably. In the light of the compromise arrived at between the parties, this Court is of the view that continuation of the criminal proceedings against the petitioner would serve no purpose and invoking the provisions under Section 482 Cr.P.C. the proceedings can be quashed by compounding the offence. Accordingly, both the Criminal Petitions are allowed and the proceedings initiated against the petitioner herein in Crime No.315 of 2011 of Vanasthalipuram P.S., Cyberabad, and in P.R.C.No.34 of 2011 on the file of the VII Metropolitan Magistrate, Cyberabad at Hayathnagar, Ranga Reddy District, are hereby quashed and, consequently, the petitioner is acquitted of the offence. The affidavits of the 1st respondent filed into Court be made as part of this order. Miscellaneous Petitions, if any, filed along with the criminal petitions shall stand closed. __________________ RAJA ELANGO, J 23rd December, 2011 cbs HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION Nos.4900 & 12367 of 2011 (Allowed) 23rd December, 2011 cbs
