HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G.BHAVANI PRASAD Criminal Petition No.6177 of 2009 Dated : 18.08.2009 Between : Mohd.Shafi and another ….. Petitioners a n d 1) Smt.Layeequnnisa 2) The State of A.P. ….. Respondents HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G.BHAVANI PRASAD Criminal Petition No.6177 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioners and the first respondent are present in person before the Court and they are identified by Sri P.Vamsheedhar Reddy, learned counsel representing Sri C.Praveen Kumar, learned counsel for the petitioners. The first respondent and the petitioners stated before the Court that they have compromised all their disputes and differences and compounded all the offences. The first respondent and petitioners therefore, desired that the further proceedings be discontinued. A perusal of the material on record shows that the disputes are purely personal in nature and no public policy is involved and the continuation of the prosecution will be a futile exercise in view of the compromise. As such taking a pragmatic view as advised by the Apex Court, the inherent jurisdiction has to be invoked to quash the proceedings. Therefore, the further proceedings in C.C.No.289 of 2007 on the file of the V Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Nampally, Hyderabad, are quashed against the petitioners. The criminal petition is allowed accordingly. The parties are informed. ______________________ G.BHAVANI PRASAD, J 18th August, 2009 SUR
