THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA CRL.PETITION No.1984 of 2008 AND CRL.PETITION No.12342 OF 2010 COMMON ORDER: 1 On the basis of a report given by one Daruri Dhatrija @ Ushasri, a case in Cr.No.87 of 2007 was registered by the Station House Officer, Paloncha P.S. Khammam District against the petitioners in both the petitions who are husband, father-in-law, mother-in-law, brother-in-law and wife of the brother-in-law for the offences punishable under sections 498-A of IPC and under sections 3 & 4 of Dowry Prohibition Act. After investigation a charge sheet was filed and the same was taken on file as C.C.No.478 of 2007 on the file of the Court of the II Additional Judicial Magistrate of I Class, Kothagudem. 2 It appears, during the pendency of the said case, due to the intervention of the elders and well wishers on both sides, the wife and husband have entered into a compromise and accordingly both of them filed O.P.No.1063 of 2009 before the Additional District Court at Khammam for divorce by mutual consent and the learned Additional District Judge by decree dated 17.09.2010 granted divorce to the spouses. In those circumstances, the de facto complainant filed Crl.P.M.P.No.12439 of 2010 in Criminal Petition No.12342 of 2010 stating that in the light of the compromise arrived at by both the parties, the proceedings in C.C.No.478 of 2007 may be quashed. 3 Today parties are present. When questioned the de facto complainant Smt. Dhatrija @ Ushasri submitted that the matter is settled out of court and hence she is not interested in getting the matter prosecuted. She further submitted that she has no objection if the said proceedings against the petitioners are quashed. 4 Having regard to the fact that the de facto complainant herself came forward stating that she is not interested in getting the matter prosecuted, these two Criminal Petitions are allowed and the proceedings in C.C.No.478 of 2007 on the file of the court of the learned II Additional judicial Magistrate of I Class, Kothagudem registered against the petitioners in both the petitions for the offences punishable under sections 498-A of IPC and under sections 3 & 4 of Dowry Prohibition Act are hereby quashed. ____________ Sri T.G.K, J. 28th December 2010 Kvsn
