HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION Nos.7265 of 2009 and 282 of 2011 COMMON ORDER: Petitioners-accused Nos.5 to 7 filed Crl.P.No.7265 of 2009 and petitioners-accused Nos.1 to 4 filed Crl.P.No.282 of 2001, under Section 482 Cr.P.C., seeking to quash the proceedings initiated against them in C.C.No.1158 of 2009 on the file of the I Addl. Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Hyderabad, taken on file for the offences under Sections 402, 420, 477, 120- B r/w 149 IPC. It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioners in both the criminal petitions 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, he prayed to quash the proceedings against the petitioners in the calendar case. The petitioners and the defacto complainant 2nd respondent herein are present before this Court and produced their identities and the same are verified by the learned Additional Public Prosecutor. The 2nd respondent stated that on the advice of elders and well-wishers, himself, petitioners and all other parties to the dispute entered into a compromise to avoid further litigation and to maintain cordial relationship among them and accordingly a new registered Development Agreement-cum-GPA was executed in favour of accused No.5 company duly incorporating all the terms of compromise which was registered as document No.8/2011 dated 1.1.2011 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. He also filed an affidavit praying the Court to quash the proceedings in the calendar case. The learned Addl. Public Prosecutor submitted that there is no objection to quash the proceedings against the petitioners in 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 by invoking the provisions under Section 482 Cr.P.C. the proceedings in the calendar case can be quashed. Accordingly, both the Criminal Petitions are allowed and the proceedings initiated against the petitioners herein in C.C.No.1158 of 2009 on the file of the I Addl. Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Hyderabad, are hereby quashed. The affidavits filed by the defacto complainant and petitioners be made as part of this order. Miscellaneous Petitions, if any, filed shall stand closed. __________________ RAJA ELANGO, J 29th March, 2011 CBS HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION Nos.7265 of 2009 & 282 of 2011 (Allowed) 29th March, 2010 CBS
