HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.KANTHA RAO CRL. P. NO.9849 of 2010 DATE: 05.10.2010 BETWEEN: Mohd Arif and another .. Petitioners And The State of A.P. and another ` .. Respondents HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.KANTHA RAO CRL. P. NO.9849 of 2010 ORDER: This criminal petition is filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C seeking to quash the proceedings in C.C.No.507 of 2009 on the file of the XIII Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Hyderabad filed for the offences punishable under Sections 498-A, 323 and 506 read with 34 IPC. I have heard the learned counsel appearing on either side. The petitioners and the respondent No.2 are present. On the report lodged by the de facto complainant, who is the wife of the first petitioner, a case in Crime No.173 of 2008 is registered and charge sheet was filed and the same is now pending in C.C.No.507 of 2009 on the file of the XIII Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Hyderabad. It is submitted by the de facto complainant that she resolved all the disputes with the petitioners, they entered into compromise and she is no longer interested to prosecute the case. Since some of the offences are non-compoundable, it is not possible for the parties to compound the matter before the trial Court. Further, in view of the compromise, if the C.C. No.507 of 2009 is allowed to be continued before the trial Court, no useful purpose will be served and there is no possibility for the prosecution to secure a conviction since the de facto complainant/second respondent and witnesses will not support the prosecution case. Thus, keeping the case pending will cause much hardship and inconvenience to the parties and it also amounts to abuse of process of law. For the reasons aforementioned and in view of the compromise entered between the parties, the entire proceedings in C.C.No.507 of 2009 on the file of the XIII Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Hyderabad filed for the offences punishable under Sections 498-A, 323 and 506 read with 34 IPC are hereby quashed. Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is allowed. ___________________ R.KANTHA RAO,J Date: 05.10.2010 kvrm HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.KANTHA RAO CRL. P. NO.9849 of 2010 DATE: 05.10.2010
