Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Hyderabad, taken on file for the offences punishable under Sections 451 and 341 IPC. It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that during pendency of the Criminal Petition, at the intervention of elders and well wishers, the matter was compromised between the parties. Therefore, he prayed to quash the proceedings against the petitioner in the calendar case. The defacto complainant 2nd respondent herein is present before this Court and produced his identity and the same is verified by the learned Addl. Public Prosecutor. He stated that on the advice of elders and well-wishers, himself and the petitioner have compromised the matter out of Court and therefore he intends to withdraw the criminal proceedings pending against the petitioner with free will and consent and there is no coercion or undue influence from any other side for the same. To that effect, he also filed an affidavit before the Court. The learned Addl. Public Prosecutor submitted that there is no objection to quash the calendar case inasmuch as both the parties settled the matter amicably. In the light of the compromise arrived at between the parties, this Court is of the view that continuation of the criminal proceedings against the petitioner would serve no purpose and by invoking the provisions under Section 482 Cr.P.C. the proceedings in the calendar case can be quashed. Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is allowed and the proceedings initiated against the petitioner herein in C.C.No.499 of 2010 on the file of the IV Addl. Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Hyderabad, are hereby quashed. The affidavit filed by the defacto complainant be made as part of this order.
