HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRL.M.P.NO.15665 of 2011 & CRIMINAL PETITION No.13612 of 2011 ORDER: This criminal petition is filed by the petitioners-accused, under Section 482 Cr.P.C., seeking to quash the proceedings in Crime No.51 of 2011 of Cyber Crime P.S., C.I.D., Hyderabad, registered for the offences punishable under Section 66-A(b) & (c) of the I.T. Act 2000 (IT(A) Act 2008) and Section 500 of IPC. When the matter is taken up for hearing today, it is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioners that during pendency of the Criminal Petition, at the intervention of elders and well wishers, both the parties compromised the matter out of Court and, to that effect, the de facto complainant, President of the 2nd respondent Association herein, filed Crl.M.P.No.15665 of 2011 with a prayer to permit him to compound the offence with the petitioners and, therefore, he prayed to quash the proceedings against the petitioners. The petitioners and the de facto complainant are present before this Court and produced their identities and the same are verified by the learned Addl. Public Prosecutor. The de facto complainant stated that the Managing Committee of the 2nd respondent Association passed a resolution on 3.11.2011 to withdraw the complaint and therefore he intends to withdraw the criminal proceedings pending against the petitioners with free will and consent and there is no coercion or undue influence from any other side for the same. The learned Addl. Public Prosecutor submitted that there is no objection to quash the proceedings 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 invoking the provisions under Section 482 Cr.P.C. the proceedings in the crime can be quashed by compounding the offence. Accordingly, Crl.M.P.No.15665 of 2011 and the Criminal Petition are allowed and the proceedings in Crime No.51 of 2011 ofCyber Crime P.S., CID, Hyderabad, are hereby quashed. The copy of Resolution dated 3.11.2011 passed by the Managing Committee of the 2nd respondent Association filed into Court be made as part of this order. Miscellaneous Petitions, if any, filed along with the criminal petition shall stand closed. __________________ RAJA ELANGO, J 23rd December, 2011 cbs HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRL.M.P.NO.15665 of 2011 & CRIMINAL PETITION No.13612 of 2011 (Allowed) 23rd December, 2011 cbs
