THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G.BHAVANI PRASAD CRIMINAL PETITION No.2426 of 2009 ORDER : Heard Sri Bala Mohan Reddy, learned counsel representing Sri T.Srinivasarao, learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri A.Ramesh, learned counsel representing the learned Public Prosecutor for the 7th respondent. Sri M.S.R.Subrahmanyam, learned counsel representing the other respondents is not present. 2) The petitioner and respondents 2, 3 and 6 are present in person, who are identified by Sri Bala Mohan Reddy, learned counsel, while respondents 1, 4 and 5 are not present. The petition itself has been filed stating that the petitioner filed a memo withdrawing the proceedings against the accused and she further stated that the matter was settled amicably with the intervention of the elders. She further desired in the criminal petition itself to permit her to withdraw the criminal case. The learned counsel also produced the compromise deed dated 24.08.2009 between the parties to the same effect of the matters being compromised and the offences being compounded. The petitioner reiterated the same before the Court also. 3) The disputes are purely personal in nature not involving any public policy and there is no use continuing the prosecution in view of the compromise. Therefore, taking a pragmatic view, the inherent jurisdiction has to be invoked to quash the proceedings. 4) Hence, the further proceedings in C.C. No.254 of 2007 on the file of the Additional Judicial First Class Magistrate, Sangareddy are quashed and the criminal petition is allowed accordingly. The parties are informed. __________________ G.
