Respondents HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.KANTHA RAO CRL. P. NO.9367 of 2010 AND CRL. P.NO. 9769 OF 2010 COMMON ORDER: I have heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner/de facto complainant and the respondents/accused. The de facto complainant appeared before the Court and stated that she compromised the matter with the respondents/accused. C.C.No.167 of 2002 on the file of the XIII Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Nampally, Hyderabad is filed against the respondents alleging commission of offences under Section 498-A IPC and Sections 3 and 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act, whereas on the report of the de facto complainant, C.C.No.14 of 2004 was filed on the file of the XIII Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Nampally, Hyderabad on the ground that the respondents misappropriated the jahaz articles given at the time of marriage as per customary law and the said case is pending. The de facto complainant and her mother, who are present before the Court stated that they have compromised the matter on the intervention of the elders and the de facto complainant has no objection to quash the proceedings in both the cases and that it could not be possible to compound the offences at the crime stage before the Court below since the offences under Sections 3 and 4 of the Act are non-compoundable. Since the offences punishable under Sections 3 and 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act are non-compoundable and if the parties await till the commencement of the trial, no useful purpose will be served except subjecting them to hardship. Further, there is no possibility for the prosecution to secure conviction in view of the compromise entered into between the parties. For the foregoing reasons, to meet the requirement of justice, the proceedings in C.C.No.167 of 2002 and C.C.No.14 of 2004 on the file of the XIII Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Nampally, Hyderabad are quashed. The Criminal Petitions are allowed. __________________ R.KANTHA RAO,J Date: 21.09.2010 Note: Issue c.c. in two days b/o kvrm HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.KANTHA RAO CRL. P. NO.9367 of 2010 and CRL.
