The defacto-complaint filed copy of her Permanent Account Number card bearing No.AJTPB 6949B, in proof of her identity, and she stated that she compromised the matter with the petitioners/accused and thus prayed to quash the proceedings initiated against the petitioners/accused in C.C.No.1307 of 2009 on the file of IX Metropolitan Magistrate, Cyberabad.

Along with the said miscellaneous petition, the defacto-complainant filed her affidavit stating that as per the advise of elders and well wishers, both parties compromised the matter, as such, prayed to quash the proceedings against the petitioners. Learned Additional Public Prosecutor submitted that there is no objection to quash the proceedings initiated against the petitioners/accused in C.C.No.1307 of 2009 on the file of the IX Metropolitan Magistrate, Cyberabad, 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 criminal proceedings pending against the petitioners/accused will serve no purpose. Therefore, in view of the guidelines laid down by the Honourable Supreme Court, the proceedings against the petitioners/accused can be quashed by this Court, by invoking inherent powers under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. Therefore, Crl.P.M.P.No.7809 of 2011 is allowed and the proceedings against the petitioners/Accused Nos.1 to 3 in C.C.No.1307 of 2009 on the file of IX Metropolitan Magistrate, Cyberabad, are hereby quashed, and consequently the Criminal Petition is also allowed. Miscellaneous petitions pending in this Criminal Petition, if any, shall stand closed. ___________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 18.08.2011 v v
