HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.10917 of 2010 ORDER: This Criminal Petition is filed by the petitioners-accused Nos.1 to 5, under Section 482 Cr.P.C., seeking to quash the proceedings initiated against them in C.C.No.581 of 2008 on the file of the IV Addl. Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Hyderabad, taken on file for the offences punishable under Setions 420, 495, 496, 406 and 120-B IPC. It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioners as well as the defacto complainant 2nd respondent herein that during pendency of the Criminal Petition, at the intervention of elders and well wishers, both the parties compromised the matter out of Court. Therefore, they prayed to quash the proceedings against the petitioners in the calendar case. The 2nd respondent herein is present before this Court. He stated that on the advice of elders and well-wishers, himself and the petitioners have resolved all the disputes between them and therefore he intends to withdraw the criminal proceedings pending against the petitioners. He also filed an affidavit praying the Court to quash the proceedings in view of the compromise. The learned Addl. Public Prosecutor submitted that there is no objection to quash the calendar case 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 the criminal proceedings against the petitioners would serve no purpose and though some of the offences are non- compoundable, by invoking the provisions under Section 482 Cr.P.C. the offences can be compounded. Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is allowed and the proceedings initiated against the petitioners herein in C.C.No.581 of 2008 on the file of the IV Addl. Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Hyderabad, are hereby quashed. The affidavit filed by the defacto complainant be made as part of this order. Miscellaneous Petitions, if any, filed shall stand closed. __________________ RAJA ELANGO, J 18th March, 2011 CBS HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.10917 of 2010 (Allowed) 18th March, 2010 CBS
