Respondents ORDER: The petitioners and the second respondent are present in person before the court and they are identified by Sri Velivela Sreenivasa Rao, learned counsel for the petitioners. The Criminal Petition itself has been filed stating that the petitioners and the second respondent settled the disputes and are living amicably. The second respondent stated before the Court also that they compromised and compounded the differences and the offences and that the further proceedings may be quashed. The petitioners also reiterated the same request. The disputes are purely personal in nature with no involvement of any public policy. The continuance of prosecution will be a futile exercise in view of the compromise. The vexing litigation has to be, therefore, put an end by invoking the inherent jurisdiction. Accordingly, the further proceedings in Cr.No.81 of 2009 on the file of Vissannapeta Police Station, Krishna District, against the petitioners are quashed and the Criminal Petition is allowed accordingly. The parties are informed. _____________________ G. BHAVANI PRASAD, J Date: 23-09-2009 Ksn
