THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA CRIMINAL PETITION NO.9935 OF 2010 ORDER: 1 On the basis of the report given by Smt. Rupa, Miryalaguda Police registered a case in Cr.No.97 of 2003 against her husband and the Petitioners herein, who are her father-in-law and mother-in-law, for the alleged offences punishable under section 498-A of IPC and under sections 3, 4 and 6 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. After investigation a charge sheet was filed and the same was taken on file as C.C.No.449 of 2003 by the Judicial Magistrate of I Class, Miryalaguda. The accused i.e. husband and the parents-in-law approached this court and filed two criminal petitions and this court while ordering notice before admission granted interim stay of all further proceedings. 2 It appears, during the pendency of the said proceedings, there was a compromise between the wife and husband and the wife is living with the husband. In those circumstances, the husband filed Criminal Petition (SR) No.42989 of 2010 to get the said offences compounded and this court, after taking the submissions made by the complainant into consideration, was pleased to allow the said petition on 23.12.2010. Now the present petition is filed on behalf of the father-in-law and mother- in-law with the same set of facts. 3 Complainant is present and she stated that having regard to the fact that she is living with her husband, she is not interested in getting the matter prosecuted and further submitted that she has no objection if the said proceedings pending against the petitioner are quashed. 4 In the light of the submissions made by the de facto complainant and having regard to the fact that basing on the submissions made by the de facto complainant only the Criminal Petition (SR) No.42989 of 2010 filed by her husband was allowed and the said proceedings were quashed, this court is of the view that this petition also can be allowed since the case of the petitioners herein is similar to that of the case of the petitioner in the said Crl.P. (SR) No.42989 of 2010. 5 In the result, the Criminal Petition is allowed and the proceedings in C.C.No.449 of 2003 on the file of the court of the Judicial Magistrate of I Class, Miryalaguda pending against the petitioners herein for the offences punishable under sections 498-A of IPC, and under sections 3, 4 and 6 of the Dowry Prohibition Act are hereby quashed. ---------------- Sri T.G.K, J. 24.12.2010 Kvsn
