THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE R. KANTHA RAO CRIMINAL PETITION No. 8747 OF 2010 AND CRLP.MP.No. 8402 OF 2010. COMMON ORDER : Criminal Petition No. 8747 of 2010 is filed by the petitioners, who are A-1 to A-4 in Crime No.16 of 2008 of Musheerabad Police Station, seeking to quash the proceedings in CC.No. 290 of 2008 on the file of the Court of XIII Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate- cum-Mahila Court, Hyderabad. The defacto complainant filed Crl.P.MP.No. 8402 of 2010 seeking to permit her to compound the case with the respondents-A1 to A4, who are the petitioners in Crl.P.No. 8747 of 2010. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners-A1 to A4 and Smt.P.Vimala Devi, learned counsel representing the defacto complainant. The petitioners-A1 to A4 and the defacto complainant are present before this Court. The petitioners in Crl.P.No. 8747 of 2010 were charge sheeted for the offences under section 498-A IPC and section 3 and 4 of Dowry Prohibition Act. It is represented by the learned counsel for the defacto complainant that since the offences under section 3 and 4 of Dowry Prohibition Act are non-compoundable it is not possible to the parties to compound the matter before the trial Court. Therefore, CrlP.MP.No. 8402 of 2010 is filed under section 320 Cr.P.C. read with section 482 Cr.P.C. The defacto complainant also filed an affidavit in support of CrlP.MP.No. 8402 of 2010 wherein she stated that she had compromised the matter with the petitioners-A1 to A4 and that she has no objection if the proceedings in CC.No.290 of 2008 on the file of the Court of XIII Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate-cum- Mahila Court, Hyderabad, are quashed. Under these circumstances, I feel that if CC.No.290 of 2008 is kept pending on the file of the Court below, no useful purpose will be served and there is no possibility for the prosecution to succeed in the case in view of the compromise arrived at between the petitioners and the defacto complainant. Therefore, the Criminal Petition No.8747 of 2010 and Crl.P.MP.No. 8402 of 2010 are allowed and all further proceedings in CC.No.290 of 2008 on the file of the Court of XIII Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate-cum-Mahila Court, Hyderabad, be and hereby quashed. __________________________ JUSTICE R.KANTHA RAO 13/09/2010 I s L THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE R.
