HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO Crl.M.P.No.3065 of 2011 & CRIMINAL PETITION No.306 of 2011 ORDER: This Criminal Petition is filed by the petitioner-accused No.2, under Section 482 Cr.P.C., seeking to quash the proceedings initiated against him in C.C.No.809 of 2010 on the file of the Addl. Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Narsapur, West Godavari District, taken on file for the offence under Sections 420, 471, 500, 384, 506 r/w 34 IPC. It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner as well as the defacto complainant 2nd respondent herein that during pendency of the Criminal Petition, at the intervention of elders and well wishers, both the parties have compromised the matter out of Court and in this regard Crl.M.P.No.3065 of 2011 is filed with a prayer to compound the offence. Therefore, they prayed to quash the proceedings against the petitioner in the calendar case. The petitioner and the 2nd respondent are present before this Court. The 2nd respondent produced his identity and the same is verified by the learned Additional Public Prosecutor. He stated that on the advice of elders and well-wishers, himself and the petitioner have compromised the matter out of Court and therefore he 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. The learned Addl. Public Prosecutor submitted that there is no objection to quash the calendar case 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 by invoking the provisions under Section 482 Cr.P.C. the offence can be compounded. Accordingly, the Crl.M.P.No.3065 of 2011 is allowed and, consequently, the Criminal Petition is allowed and the proceedings in C.C.No.809 of 2010 on the file of the Addl. Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Narsapur, West Godavari District, in so far as the petitioner herein is concerned, are hereby quashed. Miscellaneous Petitions, if any, filed shall stand closed. __________________ RAJA ELANGO, J 1st April, 2011 CBS HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO Crl.M.P.No.3065 of 2011 & CRIMINAL PETITION No.306 of 2011 (Allowed) 1st April, 2011 CBS
