THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.2066 OF 2011 and Crl.P.M.P.No.2099 of 2011 ORDER: Petitioners/Accused Nos.1 to 5 approach this Court with a prayer to quash the proceedings initiated against them in C.C.No.101 of 2011 on the file of the XV Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Nampally, Hyderabad. Heard. Today, when the matter is taken up for hearing, complainant is present before this Court and she produced her Voter Identity Card in proof of her identity. She stated that she compromised the matter with the accused at the intervention of the elders and thus prayed to quash the proceedings against the petitioners. The petitioners filed Crl.P.M.P.No.2099 of 2011, seeking to record compromise, and the same is duly signed by both parties. Along with the said Crl.M.P.No.2099 of 2011, an affidavit is filed by the complainant, narrating the mode of compromise, and the same is placed on record. This Court perused the entire material on record. Even though the offences alleged against the petitioners are non-compoundable, in view of the fact that the parties have compromised the matter outside the Court, this Court is of the view that the continuation of the criminal proceedings against the petitioners will serve no purpose and in view of the guidelines laid down by Hon’ble Supreme Court, the further proceedings against the petitioners- accused can be quashed by this Court, by exercising inherent powers under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. Therefore, Crl.P.M.P.No.2099 of 2011 is allowed and consequently the Criminal Petition is also allowed and the further proceedings against the petitioners-accused in C.C.No.101 of 2011 on the file of the XV Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Hyderabad, are hereby quashed. Miscellaneous petitions filed in this Criminal Petition, if any, shall stand closed. ___________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO Dated : 08.03.2011 v v
