THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU CRIMINAL PETITION No.7324 OF 2008 ORDER: The petitioners are accused of offences punishable under Sections 323, 420, 427, 447, 468, 504, 509 IPC in Crime No.736 of 2008 of Kukatpally Police Station, Cyberabad. It is stated that petitioners/A.1 to A.4 and the second respondent/de facto complainant have compromised the matter and that therefore, the F.I.R. is liable to be quashed. It is also stated that since the matter is not pending in a Court and since there are certain non-compoundable offences, the Magistrate may not be inclined to entertain the petition for compounding of offences. Having regard to the submissions made by petitioners’ counsel, this Court is of the opinion that since the ball is in Police Station, it is for the parties to approach the police in this matter. When both the parties appear in the police station and report compounding of offences, then the Investigating Officer shall record further or second statement of the de facto complainant and ascertain true and voluntary nature of compromise and proceed on the basis of the said further or second statement of the de facto complainant, in case it is found to be true and voluntary. With the above observations, the Criminal Petition is closed. ________________________________ (SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU, J.) 31st May, 2010 Js.
