HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO Crl.P.M.P.No.12561 of 2011 AND CRIMINAL PETITION No.11216 of 2011 ORDER: This Criminal Petition is filed by the petitioners-accused Nos.1 to 3, under Section 482 Cr.P.C., seeking to quash the proceedings initiated against them in Crime No.416 of 2010 on the file of Saidabad P.S., Hyderabad, registered for the offences punishable under Sections 448, 427, 435, 506 read with Section 34 of IPC. When the matter is taken up for hearing today, it is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioners as well as the learned counsel for the de facto complainant, 2nd respondent herein, that during pendency of the criminal petition, the matter is settled out of Court amicably between the parties and, to that effect, they filed Crl.P.M.P.No.12561 of 2011 with a prayer to record the compromise and, therefore, they prayed to quash the proceedings against the petitioners. The petitioners and the 2nd respondent are present before this Court. The 2nd respondent stated that on the advice of elders and well- wishers, himself and the petitioners have compromised the matter out of Court and, therefore, he intends to withdraw the criminal proceedings pending against the petitioners with free will and consent and there is no coercion or undue influence from any other side for the same. He also filed an affidavit narrating the compromise. The learned Addl. Public Prosecutor submitted that there is no objection to quash the crime 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 proceedings against the petitioners would serve no purpose and by invoking the inherent powers under Section 482 Cr.P.C., the proceedings in the crime can be quashed by compounding the offence. Accordingly, Crl.P.M.P.No.12561 of 2011 and the Criminal Petition are allowed and the proceedings initiated against the petitioners herein in Crime No.416 of 2010 on the file of Saidabad P.S., Hyderabad, are hereby quashed. The affidavit of the 2nd respondent filed into Court be made as part of this order. Miscellaneous petitions, if any, filed shall stand closed. __________________ RAJA ELANGO, J 4th November, 2011 cbs HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO Crl.P.M.P.No.12561 of 2011 AND CRIMINAL PETITION No.11216 of 2011 (Allowed) 4th November, 2011 cbs
