HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.KANTHA RAO CRL. P.NO.3280 OF 2009 DATE: 18.11.2010 BETWEEN: B.Balakishan Raj and others .. Petitioners And B.Archana and another ` .. Respondents HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.KANTHA RAO CRL. P.NO.3280 OF 2009 ORDER: This criminal petition is filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C. to quash the criminal proceedings in CCSR No.1741 of 2009 on the file of the IV Additional Judicial First Class Magistrate, Warangal. I have heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioners and the learned Additional Public Prosecutor representing the State. The first petitioner is the husband of the first respondent. Their marriage was performed 18 years ago and they blessed with two children. Subsequently, some differences arose between them in which the first respondent filed a complaint before the IV Additional Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Warangal alleging the commission of offence under Section 498-A IPC and Sections 3 and 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. The learned Magistrate forwarded the case to the police under Section 156(3) Cr.P.C for investigation. The first petitioner aggrieved thereby filed the criminal petition to quash CCSR.No.1741 of 2009 on the file of the IV Additional Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Warangal on the ground that the complaint itself is not maintainable, but the learned Magistrate referred the same for investigation by the police without going into the contents of the complaint. The first petitioner and the first respondent are present. It is stated that subsequent to the filing of the complaint by the first respondent, at the intervention of elders and well wishers, they compromised the matter and now the first respondent is not interested to prosecute the case. It is also submitted by them that after compromise both of them are living together. Since, after filing of the complaint, there is compromise between the parties and now they are living amicably together, continuing the proceedings any longer will result in miscarriage of justice and it may cause lot of inconvenience to the parties. Under these circumstances, the proceedings initiated against the petitioners herein in CCSR No.1741 of 2009 on the file of the IV Additional Judicial First Class Magistrate, Warangal are quashed. Accordingly, the criminal petition is allowed. _______________ R.KANTHA RAO,J Date: 18.11.2010 kvrm HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.KANTHA RAO CRL. P.NO.3280 OF 2009 DATE: 18.11.2010
