Both parties have stated that they settled the dispute out side the Court and entered into compromise, whereunder, the marriage between the two was agreed to be dissolved by decree of divorce. It is stated that the compromise was also recorded in the divorce OP No.1149 of 2009 on the file of the Judge, Family Court, Ranga Reddy district. Copy of the memo of compromise is also filed. The first respondent- complainant states that she has received a sum of Rs.4,00,000/- in full and final settlement of her claim as per the terms of the compromise and that she is no longer interested in prosecuting the petitioner for the offence under Section 498-A IPC in CC No.77 of 2010 on the file of the XIV Metropolitan Magistrate, Cyberabad at L.B. Nagar, in view of the compromise. 2. In the circumstances and having regard to the fact that both the parties have entered into compromise and settled the dispute amicably and the marriage between the two is being dissolved by grant of divorce by mutual consent and the claim of the first respondent having been settled and as such, she is not interested in prosecuting the petitioner, it is considered that no useful purpose would be served by continuing further proceedings in CC No.77 of 2010 on the file of the XIV Metropolitan Magistrate, Cyberabad at L.B. Nagar. Hence, it is considered a fit case to invoke inherent powers of this Court under Section 482 Cr.P.C. and quash further proceedings in CC No.77 of 2010 on the file of the XIV Metropolitan Magistrate, Cyberabad at L.B. Nagar and they are accordingly quashed. 3. In the result, the criminal petition is disposed of as stated above. ___________________ G.V.SEETHAPATHY, J Date: 12.11.2010 Note: Issue CC in two days (BO) bss
