HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE B. CHANDRA KUMAR CRIMINAL PETITION No.11428 OF 2010 ORDER: This Criminal Petition is filed by the Petitioners/Accused Nos.1 to 8 under Section 482 Cr.P.C. seeking to quash proceedings in Crime No.176 of 2010, on the file of Kadam Police Station, Adilabad District registered for offences punishable under Sections 498-A, 406 and 506 I.P.C. 2. Heard the learned counsel appearing for the Petitioners and the learned Additional Public prosecutor appearing for the Respondents- State. 3. The second Respondent herein is the de-facto complainant. Her allegation is that her marriage was performed with the first petitioner on 22-03-2006 and at the time of marriage, an amount of Rs.2,50,000/- dowry was given along with other household articles and furniture etc., It is also her case that after the marriage, they lived happily for about two months and thereafter all the Petitioners herein started to harass her demanding additional dowry of Rs.5,00,000/- and also abused her. It also appears that A-1 went to Gulf Countries to earn money and stayed there for two years. 4. The learned counsel for the Petitioners has taken me through the documents filed along with the Petition. It appears that the parties have entered into a compromise and entered into a Divorce Deed on 03-02-2010 and they have also settled the matter before the Lok-Adalat as the same is accorded by the Judicial Magistrate of First Class at Nirmal in the docket order dated 03-02-2010 in M.C. No. 34 of 2009. 5. It is settled law that the subsequent developments can be looked into in appropriate cases, in the interest of Justice. There are two grounds under which the proceedings can be quashed; the first ground is that all the allegations made against the Accused are omnibus, no specific allegation is made against any one of the Accused or any specific instances have been shown against each of the Accused. Where in a case omnibus allegations have been made against all the Accused, against the relatives of the husband prima- facie it appears that the allegations are false. The second ground is that since the matter seems to have been settled between the parties, no useful purpose will be served by continuing the proceedings. Accordingly, with the above observations, the Criminal Petition is allowed quashing the F.I.R in Crime No.176 of 2009 on the file of Kadam Police station, Adilabad District. _____________________ B.
