THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE B.CHANDRA KUMAR CRIMINAL PETITION NO.1761 OF 2010 ORDER: This Criminal Petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C is filed by the petitioners/accused Nos.1 to 4 seeking to quash the proceedings against them in C.C.No.721 of 2009 on the file of VIII-Metropolitan Magistrate, Cyberabad, Rajendranagar, registered for the offences punishable under Section 498-A IPC and Sections 3 and 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. The de facto complainant, Smt Kasuri Krishnaveni, and the petitioners/accused Nos.1 to 4 are present. The de facto complainant stated that the matter is settled out of the Court; that she and her husband/petitioner No.1 entered into and executed memorandum of compromise-cum-settlement deed dated 15.10.2009 and that both of them filed O.P.No.1028 of 2009 before the Family Court, Ranga Reddy District at L.B.Nagar seeking dissolution of marriage by granting decree of divorce by mutual consent. In the circumstances, as the parties have settled the matter amicably and they also filed O.P.No.1028 of 2009 for dissolution of marriage by granting decree of divorce by mutual consent, and as it is a matrimonial matter, continuation of proceedings in C.C.No.721 of 2009 is unnecessary and accordingly, the proceedings in C.C.No.721 of 2009 on the file of VIII-Metropolitan Magistrate, Cyberabad, Rajendranagar, against the petitioners/accused Nos.1 to 4 are hereby quashed. The Criminal Petition is, accordingly, allowed. _____________________ B.CHANDRA KUMAR, J Dated 26th February, 2010 vrn
