THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.12105 of 2011 ORDER: Petitioners approach this Court with a prayer to quash the proceedings initiated against them in C.C.No.551 of 2010 on the file of the XIII Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Hyderabad, for the offences punishable under Sections 498-A IPC and Sections 4 and 6 of Dowry Prohibition Act. Heard. Today, the defacto-complainant Smt B. Navaneetha is present and filed an affidavit stating that the matter is settled out of Court between herself and the accused 1 to 4, at the intervention of the elders, which shall form part and parcel of the record. As the alleged offences are punishable under Sections 498-A IPC and Sections 4 and 6 of Dowry Prohibition Act, and in view of the fact that the matter is settled between the parties amicably, the offences are compounded. Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is allowed and the proceedings initiated against the petitioners/accused 1 to 4 in C.C.No.551 of 2010 on the file of the XIII Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Hyderabad, are hereby quashed. _________________ RAJA ELANGO,J Date:28.11.2011.
