IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD TUESDAY, THE FIFTEENTH DAY OF SEPTEMBER TWO THOUSAND AND NINE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G. BHAVANI PRASAD Criminal Petition No.921 of 2009 and Crl.P.M.P.Nos.7196 of 2009 and 7197 of 2009 Between: K.P.V. Subbaiah and another .. Petitioner AND The State of Andhra Pradesh, reptd. by Public Prosecutor and another .. Respondents COMMON ORDER: Petitioners 1 and 2 and the General Power of Attorney holder of the second respondent, who is the mother of the second respondent, are present in person before the Court and they are identified by Sri Palle Nageswara Rao, learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri K. Venu Madhav, learned counsel for the G.P.A. holder of the second respondent. The copy of the General Power of Attorney also has been filed along with Crl.P.M.P.No.7197 of 2009. The G.P.A. holder of the second respondent has stated that the second respondent and the petitioners compromised and compounded all the disputes and offences and the second respondent is not wishing to prosecute the criminal proceedings. In fact, Crl.P.M.P.No.7196 of 2009 was filed by the second respondent to record the compromise and allow the criminal petition. The Criminal Petition itself referred to the observation made by this court in the earlier proceedings about the letter addressed by the second respondent to the police to treat the case as withdrawn. The material papers disclosed that the disputes are purely personal in nature not involving any public policy. Continuance of further proceedings will be a futile exercise in view of the compromise. As such, the inherent jurisdiction has to be invoked to put an end to the vexing litigation. Accordingly, the further proceedings in C.C.No.703 of 2007 on the file of VI Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Nampally, Hyderabad, against the petitioners are quashed and the Criminal Miscellaneous Petitions and the Criminal Petition are allowed accordingly. The parties are informed. _____________________ G. BHAVANI PRASAD, J Date: 15-09-2009 Ksn
