BHAVANI PRASAD Criminal Petition Nos.6365 of 2008 and 7526 of 2009 Criminal Petition No.6365 of 2008 Between: Bommana Annapurnamma, W/o Bangaraiah .. Petitioner AND Bommana Venkata Padmavathi, W/o Murali Mohan Rao And another .. Respondents Criminal Petition No.7526 of 2009 Between: Bommana Murali Mohan Rao .. Petitioner AND Bommana Venkata Padmavathi, W/o Murali Mohan Rao and another .. Respondents COMMON ORDER: The petitioner in Criminal Petition No.7526 of 2009, the petitioners in Criminal Petition No.6365 of 2008 and the first respondent in both the petitions are present in person and they are identified by Sri M. Christopher, learned counsel representing Sri T. Pradyumna Kumar Reddy, learned counsel for the petitioners in both the petitions and Sri V. Roopesh Kumar Reddy, learned counsel for the first respondent in both the petitions. The first respondent had in fact filed Crl.P.M.P.No.7290 of 2009 in Criminal Petition No.6365 of 2008 to quash the proceedings in C.C.No.243 of 2007 on the file of Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Rajam, Srikakulam District, in view of the compromise between both the parties on the intervention of the elders. The first respondent stated before the court that in view of the compromise, they compounded the offences and the further proceedings may be quashed. The petitioners in both the petitions also reiterated the same request. The material papers disclose that the disputes are purely personal in nature without involving any public policy. Continuance of the prosecution will be a futile exercise in view of the compromise. To put to an end to the vexing litigation, the inherent jurisdiction has to be invoked. Therefore, the further proceedings in C.C.No.243 of 2007 on the file of Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Rajam, Srikakulam District, are quashed and both the Criminal Petitions are allowed accordingly. The parties are informed. _____________________ G. BHAVANI PRASAD, J Date: 16-09-2009 Ksn
